Industrial revolution 4.0 is paradigm shift towards automation to cater the needs of ongoing demand in industrial production and to meet the requirements of exponential increase. In line with that six axial robotic arm can pave the way to complete the laborious task with in stipulated time. Six axial robotic arm it has a six axial robotic arm driven by six servomotors; a simple 6-DOF motion can be obtained. Robotic arm encompass of mechanical structure and control unit, Control unit controls whole motion of the system. It has two pieces of plastic gears, motors linkages tightened with fasteners and some sophisticated combination of laser cutted acrylic components. This fabricated model has the applications of robotic arm are pick and place spot welding, spray painting etc. The main objective of this paper is to propose a design and fabricate a six axial arm robot using servomotors which helps in the movement of links also the arm is allowed to extend freely with base fixed. The Arduino board connected to the motor to inspect and control the process
