Ans manipulator a method for the control of machine

Ans: manipulator
• A method for the control of machine tool systems. A program containing all the information, in symbolic numerical form,
needed for processing a workpiece is stored on a medium such as paper or magnetic tape.
Ans: numerical control
• Developing robot programs partially or completely without requiring the use of the robot itself. The program is loaded into
the robot’s controller for subsequent automatic action of the manipulator.
Ans: off-line programming

• Software that controls the execution of computer programs, may provide scheduling, allocation, debugging data
management, and other functions.
Ans: operating systems
• Also known as positioning. The consistent movement or manipulation of an object into controlled position and altitude in
space.
Ans: orientation
• The equipment used in conjunction with the robot for a complete robotic system. This includes grippers, conveyors, parts
positioners and parts or materials feeders that are needed with the robot.
Ans: peripheral equipment
• Also known as bend. The angular rotation of a moving body about an axis that is perpendicular to its direction of motion and
in the same plane as its top side.
Ans: pitch
• Also known as photoelement or photosite. A digital picture or sensor element, picture is short for picture cell.
Ans: pixel
• The act of providing the control instructions required for a robot to perform its intended task.
Ans: programming
• The envelope of variance of the robot tool print position for repeated cycles under the same conditions. It is obtained from
the deviation between the positions and orientations reached at the end of several similar cycles. Contrast with accuracy.
Ans: repeatability
• A reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move a material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through
variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks.
Ans: robot
• The science of designing, building and applying robots.
Ans: robotics
• Also known as twist. The rotational displacement of a joint around the principal axis of its motionj, particularly at the wrist.
Ans: roll
• A robot with a computer processes added to the robotic controller. This addition makes it possible to perform, in real time,
the calculations required to control the motions of each degree of freedom in a cooperative manner to effect smooth motions
of the end effector along predetermined paths. It also become possible to integrate simple sensors, such as force torque,
and proximity into the robot system ,providing some degree of adaptability to the robot’s environment.
Ans: second generation robot system
• A controller that operates an application though a fixed sequence of events.
Ans: sequencer
• A robot driven by servomechanisms, that is, motors or actuators whose driving signal is a function of the difference between
a commanded position and/or rate is measured actual position and/or rate.
