Robotics (Report)

An industrial robot is defined as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable manipulator with movement in three or more axes. Robotics involves the study, design, and use of robots, especially in manufacturing. Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, packaging, product inspection, and testing, using high endurance, speed, and precision.

An industrial robot is defined by ISO[1] as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes.

The field of robotics may be more practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing (a top-level definition relying on the prior definition of robot). Typical applications of robots include welding, painting, assembly, pick and place, packaging and palletizing, product inspection, and testing, all accomplished with high endurance, speed, and precision.

CONTROLLERS

Soft-Start Ramp-Up with Adjustment This feature enables users to turn the feeder bowl or inline on gently. A ramped On-Cycle helps reduce parts from falling off of tooling when turned on. It also reduces damage by eliminating the jolt the vibratory units experiences each time the unit is turned on. Minimum/Maximum Output Adjustment Allows you to limit the minimum and maximum output of the main control potentiometer. By limiting the Full On output, operators cannot turn the feeder up too high or too low. This feature can prevent sheared tooling, spring cracks and damage to the armature and coil caused by "Coil Rap".

Run Interlock Output The controller can by turned on and off through several inputs: a 5 - 30Volt DC or 105 - 250 Volt AC interlock signal from a parts sensor or PLC. a level control switch or low current relay contact closure , switching a 5Volt DC 2mA signal.

50 Hz or 60Hz The 6000 series controllers will operate on either 50 Hz or 60Hz. AC/DC Operation (Full-Wave / Half-Wave Output) Choose to operate at either 120 or 60 pulses per second by simply flipping a switch on the board.

A More Linear Output Curve The microprocessor based controller spreads the power curve across the Main Potentiometer providing more finite control over the feed rate and reduces "touchy" controls.
