rotation and bending axes Explanation: Robots can have various axes of motion. Here it is a rotation axis and a bending axis (two separate axes). The refs are representative, if you do a search for fobot+rotation+bending+axis you will find a lot more.

axis of rotation Explanation: Drehachse- axis of rotation, as in:"....There is a torque associated with each axis of rotation as the robot moves in it’s gyrations. This software only uses the wrist ..." www.eoa.com/CALCULATOR/EECALC_WEB_README.HTM - 40k Knickachse: knicken would be buckling ( Ernst WB d.ind. Technik) I search for buckling axis did not return any hits, but ERNST lists Knickfinger (Roboter)=elbow arm; maybe the various axis if the robot you are dealing with are asociated with various"body" parts? See the following description of a 5- axis robot:"This 5 Axis Robotic Arm delivers fast, accurate and repeatable movement. The robot features: base rotation, shoulder, elbow and wrist motion and a functional gripper to make up five axis of movement. Hope this helps some.

Drehachse : axis of rotation (verbatim from Collins 4th Ed.) Explanation: This would lead to the conclusion that Knickachse is the axis of articulation. It's reasonable to suppose that a robot can have both (or several of either) in different parts. |

Rotating and articulating axes Explanation: The articulating motion on a ropbot is typicall the combined effort of two rotating axes, such as moving your hand in a straight line by rotating your wrist, elbow and possibly shoulder.

swivelling and articulated joints Explanation: An axle is always a pin or a shaft. The articulation is provided by a joint. Joints can be rigid or articulated. Kempe's Engineers Year-Book |

swiveling and articulated joints Explanation: An axle cannot bend. An axis is not an axle, it is the center line, for instance of an axle. Therefore "bending axis" for "Knickachse" is wrong on both counts. Similar for "rotating and bending axes". An axis cannot bend either. |
