Stan­dard four axis robots are con­fig­ured in a slight­ly dif­fer­ent way than the more com­mon six axis robot mod­els. Instead of three axes in the wrist area, four axis robots have one. Their sim­pli­fied design allows them to pro­vide max­i­mum sta­bil­i­ty and strength for appli­ca­tions such as mate­r­i­al han­dling and palletizing. 

Some four axis robot mod­els have rein­force­ment bars along the upper and low­er arms. These bars make the robot sturdier.

• Axis J1: The base axis allows the four axis robot to piv­ot from left to right.
• Axis J2: This axis is attached to the base con­fig­u­ra­tion. It maneu­vers the robot for­ward and backwards.
• Axis J3: This crit­i­cal axis joins the upper and low­er arms.
• Axis J4: The wrist axis rotates the EOAT. (It is referred to as axis six on a stan­dard 6‑axis robot).
