Dead Mans Switch Purpose Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of a dead man’s switch on a robot?
-To stop the robot when the operator releases it
-To increase the robot’s speed during operation
-To activate emergency alarms
The primary purpose of a dead man’s switch on a robot is:
- To stop the robot when the operator releases it.
This safety feature ensures that the robot ceases operation immediately if the operator lets go of the control, preventing accidents or harm.
When is the dead man’s switch typically used?
-During full-speed automatic operation
-To activate emergency alarms
-During manual control or teach mode
The dead man’s switch is typically used:
- During manual control or teach mode.
It ensures safety when an operator is working closely with the robot, such as programming or teaching it tasks. If the operator releases the switch, the robot stops immediately to prevent accidents.
What happens if the dead man’s switch is accidentally pressed beyond its middle position while the robot is in motion?
-The robot stops immediately
-The robot speeds up
-The robot pauses and resumes after 5 seconds
If the dead man’s switch is accidentally pressed beyond its middle position while the robot is in motion:
- The robot stops immediately.
This is a safety mechanism to ensure the robot halts in case of an unintentional or emergency situation, protecting the operator and the surroundings.

1.: To simulate printing paths
2.: To manually control and position the robot’s end effector
3.: To test collision detection systems
Here are the answers:
To simulate printing paths: No
To manually control and position the robot’s end effector: Yes
To test collision detection systems: No
Answer the following statements with Yes or No! What is a key challenge in 3D printing in construction?
1.: Programming complexity
2.: Limited regulations and norms
3.: Real-time adjustments to errors
Here are the answers:
Programming complexity: Yes
Limited regulations and norms: Yes
Real-time adjustments to errors: Yes
What is Grasshopper primarily used for?
-Algorithmic design
-Painting
-Video editing
Grasshopper is primarily used for:
- Algorithmic design.
It is a visual programming language integrated with Rhino 3D, widely used for parametric and computational design in architecture, engineering, and industrial design.
Answer the following statements with Yes or No! How can you refine a robot’s movement if it is printing uneven or jerky layers?
1.: Modify the robot’s motion blend radius
2.: Modify the robot’s speed
3.: Modify the robot’s motion path
Here are the answers:
Modify the robot’s motion blend radius: Yes
Modify the robot’s speed: Yes
Modify the robot’s motion path: Yes
What is the term for moving a robot’s axis in real-time using a joystick or the teach pendant?
-Teaching
-Jogging
-Playback
The term for moving a robot’s axis in real-time using a joystick or the teach pendant is:
- Jogging.
What is the term for the robot’s position and orientation?
-Trajectory
-Pose
-Path
The term for the robot’s position and orientation is:
- Pose.
What is the main advantage of using collaborative robots?
-They are faster than industrial robots
-They are safer to work alongside humans
-They require no programming
The main advantage of using collaborative robots is:
- They are safer to work alongside humans.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are designed with built-in safety features like force-limiting sensors, allowing them to work directly alongside humans without the need for extensive safety barriers.
What are Grasshopper components connected by?
-Scripts
-Wires
-Layers
Grasshopper components are connected by:
- Wires.
These wires connect the components to pass data between them, allowing for algorithmic design to be created in a visual and interactive way.
What is the workspace of a robot defined as?
-The programming environment
-The size of the robot
-The maximum area it can reach
The workspace of a robot is defined as:
- The maximum area it can reach.
This refers to the three-dimensional space that the robot’s end effector (like a gripper or tool) can access during its operation, depending on its range of motion and the configuration of its joints.
Answer the following statements with Yes or No! What is the safest way to test a 3D printing motion path before executing it?
1.: Simulate the path in Grasshopper or the robot’s control software
2.: Perform a test print without material
3.: Run the path at full speed
Here are the answers:
Simulate the path in Grasshopper or the robot’s control software: Yes
Perform a test print without material: Yes
Run the path at full speed: No
What type of robot is the robot used during the interactive lecture?
-Cartesian robot
-Mobile robot
-Articulated robot
The type of robot used during an interactive lecture is typically an:
- Articulated robot.
These robots have multiple joints and are often used in demonstrations and lectures due to their flexibility and ability to perform complex movements.
Was ist ein Articulated robot?
Ein Articulated Robot (auch als gelenkiger Roboter bekannt) ist ein Robotertyp, der mehrere drehbare Gelenke oder Achsen hat, die ihm eine hohe Flexibilität und Bewegungsfreiheit ermöglichen. Diese Roboter ähneln in ihrer Struktur menschlichen Armen und haben oft eine armartige Form mit mehreren Gelenken (oft 3 bis 7 Achsen). Sie können sich in verschiedene Richtungen bewegen und sind in der Lage, komplexe Aufgaben auszuführen, wie etwa das Greifen, Schweißen oder Montieren.
Articulated Robots werden häufig in industriellen Anwendungen verwendet, da sie sich gut an verschiedene Arbeitsumgebungen und -anforderungen anpassen können. Ihre Fähigkeit, sich in mehreren Achsen zu bewegen, macht sie besonders nützlich für Aufgaben, die Präzision und Flexibilität erfordern.
