Handouts Ec483l1 3

Robot motion refers to the movement of the robot base and axes. Axes control provides positional control over the robot axes using command pulses and feedback devices. Non-servo control uses hard stops to limit movement while servo control establishes feedback between motors and controllers. Medium technology robots are primarily used for picking, placing, loading and unloading with 5-6 axes, payloads of 68-150kg, 1 second cycle times, and 0.2-1.3mm accuracy. High technology robots are used for material handling, pressing, painting, welding and other manufacturing tasks with similar specifications to medium robots.

ROBOT MOTION Base travel - refers to the movement of the base.

e. Axes control - it is a device that provides positional control over the axes of the robot. - It contains the following: - command pulses - cause the motor to move. - a feedback device - sends the positional information back to robot controller. Non servo control - classified as bang-bang robot. - movement is stopped by hard mechanical stopped. - have three axes only: up/down, in/out, and left/right. Servo control - feedback path is established between the servo motor and the controller. Medium technology robot - primarily used for picking and placing and for machine loading and unloading. Axes Payload Cycle Time Accuracy Actuation Controllers : 5 to 6 axes movement : 68 150 kg : 1 secs : 0.20 to 1.3 millimeter : hydraulic or electric motors : 8 bit or 16 bit microprocessor

High technology robot Used for: - Material handling - Press transferring - Painting and Sealing - Spot welding - Arc Welding - Variety of task found in the manufacturing environment Axes Payload Cycle Time Accuracy Actuation Controllers : 5 to 6 axes movement : 68 150 kg : 1secs : 0.20 to 1.3 millimeter : hydraulic or electric motors : 8 bit or 16 bit microprocessor

ROBOT TECHNOLOGY LEVEL Low technology robot - used for industrial environment jobs - machine loading - material handling - press operation - simple assembly Axes Payload Cycle Time Accuracy Actuation Controllers : 2 to 4 axes movement : 3 13.6 kg : 5 10 secs : 0.050 to 0.025 millimeter : electric motors : 8 bit or 16 bit microprocessor

CATEGORIES OF SOFTWARE FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS Robots are able to perform crude and simple manipulations or elaborate and sophisticated manipulations according to whether the microCs user program is simple or sophisticated. We find it convenient to classify the user program that control robots into three categories. 1. Positive-stop programs 2. Point-to-point programs 3. Continuous-path programs
