Chapter 8 Flashcards
- What is an industrial robot
automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multi purpose,manipulator that can move in 3 dimensions
2.What was the first application of an industrial robot
die casting for general motors
- 5 joint types used in robotic arms
- Linear
- Orthogonal
- rotational
- twisting
- revolving
- What is work volume
the 3 dimensional space within which the robot can move its end wrist
- what is playback robot with point to point control
A robot capable of one or both of
- greater storage capacity
- Interpolation calculations
- what is the advantage of a dual gripper over a single gripper
dual grippers can pick up a part and process the next part instead of having move twice
- What is an end effector
To
- General characteristics of industrial work situations that promote human workers over robots
G
- 3 categories of robot industrial applications
- Material Handling
- Processing operations
- Assembly and inspection
- Difference between powered lead through and manual lead through in programming
The difference between them is the manner in which the manipulator is moved through the motion cycle
Powered uses a handheld control box with toggles and switches
Manual has operator physically guide the end of arm.
- Difference between repeatability and accuracy in robotic manipulator
Repeatability is a measure of the robot’s ability to position its end wrist in a previously taught position
Accuracy is the robot’s ability to position the end of its wrist at a desired location in the work volume
