Question 1

3D Graphic Display Function

Answer 1

The 3D Graphic Display Function (henceforth described as 3D Display Function) is that, a 3D model of the robot is displayed on the programming pendant window, and the current value of the robot can be confirmed. By using the multi-window function, the job’s teaching position displayed in the job content can also be confirmed on the 3D display window. When the functional safety function is valid, the functional safety range can also be displayed.

Question 2

Absolute Data (ABSO Data)

Answer 2

Absolute Data (ABSO Data) is a correction factor for data that establishes an indicated value of zero when the robot is at the predetermined Home (calibration position).

Question 3

Accuracy

Answer 3

Accuracy is the measurement of the deviation between the command characteristic and the attained characteristic (R15.05-2), or the precision with which a computed or calculated robot position can be attained. Accuracy is normally worse than the arm’s repeatability. Accuracy is not constant over the workspace, due to the effect of link kinematics.

Question 4

Active Compliant Robot

Answer 4

An active compliant robot is one in which motion modification during the performance of a task is initiated by the control system. The induced motion modification is slight, but sufficient to facilitate the completion of a desired task.
