Robot has 360[degrees] wrist.


A new beam-mounted, five-axis servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk.  robot has a dual servo wrist designed for part reorientation Noun 1. reorientation - a fresh orientation; a changed set of attitudes and beliefs
orientation - an integrated set of attitudes and beliefs

2. reorientation - the act of changing the direction in which something is oriented
 and degating operations. Model RT/F-1000S5 from Ranger Ranger

Any of a series of unmanned probes launched from 1961 to 1965 by NASA. The project was NASA's earliest attempt to explore the Moon's surface. Ranger 4 (1962) became the first U.S. spacecraft to hit the Moon, crash-landing on its surface as planned.
 Automation Systems Inc., Shrewsbury, Mass., has 360[degrees] wrist rotation, said to be useful for insert or overmolding operations. The robot is designed for presses from 300 to 1000 tons and can handle payloads up to 50 lb. It has individual servo motors for each axis of motion axis of motion An axis that is perpendicular to the plane in which the joint motion occurs; the closer the axis of the motion is to the body plane, the less movement there is in that body plane  and speeds up to about 15 ft/sec. The new handheld controller has a flash memory slot to download or upload programs. Tel: (508) 842-6500 * www.rangerautomation.com
