A Robot System comprises manipulator(s), the controller(s), and all equipment that is controlled by the controller (such as tools, Sensors etc). It also includes hardware and software required to operate the manipulator [4]. The manipulator is the mechanical unit which performs the work. The controller is the ”brain” of the manipulator, it consists of a processor, a memory, and all other electronic devices that are required to handle a manipulator. Finally there is a unit called FlexPendant, which is a touch screen device that Controls the manipulator.
The manipulator or Robot has six axes. The figure
shows the different axes and how they move.
The FlexPendant, sometimes even called TPU (Teach Pendant Unit) is a touch
screen device for handling many of the functions involved with operating the robot system.
The functions are for instance running and writing programs, jogging (moving,
running) the mechanical unit, producing and editing application programs, etc [3].
-
Manipulator A Manipulator is a generic term for mechanical units that are used
to move objects, tools, etc. The term also includes Robots as well as positioners.
-
Robot A robot is a mechanical unit with a tool center point (TCP). The term
robot does not include the controller.
-
Positioner The positioner is a mechanical unit used to move a work object. It can
have one or more axes, normally no more than three axes. A positioner normally
does not have a TCP.
-
Robot cell A robot cell comprises all parts needed for production.
-
Mecanical unit A Mechanical unit can be jogged, it can be a robot, a single
additional axis or a set of external axes.
