About the
robot arm
The Joints, Base and Tool Flange are the main components of the robot arm. The controller

Attaching an end effector (tool) to the Tool Flange at the end of the robot arm, allows the robot
to manipulate a workpiece. Some tools have a specific purpose beyond manipulating a part,
for example, QCinspection, applying adhesives and welding.
