Robot Systems
This type of robotic system is currently the most popular with industry.
What is articulated?
This type of programming language involves physically changing the pegs in a drum controller.
What is level 1 programming?
This preventative maintenance task includes filling the lubricator, verifying muffler operation, and draining the reservoir.
What is pneumatic system preventative maintenance?
This PLC component is known as the “brain” of the programmable controller and coordinates system operation.
What is the processor unit?
This device actuates when its rung is energized.
What is a direct device?
This robotic system is known for having a cubic or rectangular work envelope.
What is Cartesian?
With this type of motion, a robotic system moves in an arc shape between points.
What is circular motion?
Tightening electrical connections, replacing filters, and changing hydraulic oil are examples of these preventative maintenance tasks.
What are annual preventative maintenance tasks?
This provides the voltages necessary to operate circuitry throughout the programmable controller.
What is the power supply?
This PLC component performs arithmetic and logic operations.
What is the ALU?
These robots blend linear Cartesian motion with articulated rotation and are often used in electronics applications.
What are SCARA robots?
In level 4 programming systems, the programmer creates a new program by entering points with proper motion labels and then does this.
What is testing the program for proper function?
This robotics condition occurs when there is no clear-cut way for the robot to move between two points.
What is singularity?
This printed circuit board located at the back of a PLC rack assembly provides electrical connections between modules.
What is the back plane?
This PLC location stores data used by the CPU to perform various functions.
What is memory?
The most common power source for industrial robot motion is this type of power.
What is AC power?
This instruction checks the value of program data often tied to sensors, registers, and stored controller data.
What is the Input instruction?
When troubleshooting makes the process worse instead of better, this is what has been learned.
What is you are on the right track but need to correct in the opposite direction?
This is the section of the PLC that performs arithmetic and logic operations.
What is the ALU?
This type of sensor connection draws conventional current into its output terminal through the load device.
What is sinking?
A common power source for robot tooling is this type of power.
What is pneumatic power?
This instruction is used to call other programs from a main program.
What is the Call instruction?
When running a program in automatic mode for the first time, operators should start at less than full speed, keep a hand near the stop button, and do this.
What is watch the robot go through the program a couple of times?
This PLC process includes the program, run, test, and remote phases.
What is the processor scan cycle?
This gear set has multiple gears on one shaft, while this gear is tied to the gear train’s output.
What are the compound gear and driven gear?
