Irrespective of robot configuration, there are several methods that can be used by the programmer during the teach mode to actuate the robot arm and wrist. We list the following three methods: Joint movements x-y-z coordinate...

This and the following sections of this chapter will examine the programming issues involved in the use of the lead through methods, with emphasis on the powered lead through approach. Let us begin our discussion with our...
In lead through programming, the robot is moved through the desired motion path in order to record the path into the controller memory. There are two ways of accomplishing lead through programming: Powered lead through Manual...
Robot programming is accomplished in several ways. Consistent with current industrial practice we divide the programming methods into two basic types: Lead through methods Textual robot languages The lead through methods...
Our description of the typical machine vision system in the preceding section identified three functions: sensing and digitizing, image processing and analysis, and application. This and the following sections in the chapter will...
Machine vision is concerned with the sensing of vision data and its interpretation by a computer. The typical vision system consists of the camera and digitizing hardware, a digital computer, and hardware and software necessary...
The major uses of sensors in industrial robotics and other automated manufacturing systems can be divided into four basic categories : Safety monitoring Interlocks in workcell control Part inspection for quality...
Proximity sensors are devices that indicate when one object is done another object. How close the object must be in order to activate the sensor is dependent on the particular. The distances can be anywhere between several...
Most of this chapter has been concerned with grippers rather than tools as end effectors. As indicated in before section tools are used for spot welding, arc welding, rotating spindle operations, and other processing...
Magnetic grippers can be a very feasible means of handling ferrous materials. The stainless steel plate in example would not be an appropriate application for a magnetic gripper because 18∼8 stainless steel is not attracted by...
