Better brains for robots.Two lines of top-entry servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk. robots have been redesigned with new controls. The SRRA-a and SRRAII-a models from Sterling Inc., Milwaukee (and equivalent AERA-a and AERAII-a models from AEC AEC US Atomic Energy Commission Noun 1. AEC - a former executive agency (from 1946 to 1974) that was responsible for research into atomic energy and its peacetime uses in the United States Atomic Energy Commission Inc., Wood Dale, Ill.), have a new icon-based E-Touch Web Controller that allows sequences to be programmed through a 10-in. color touchscreen. The Windows XP-based control can send e-mail or import product photos via an optional USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. camera package. It can send data to other robots via instant messaging Exchanging text messages in real time between two or more people logged into a particular instant messaging (IM) service. Instant messaging is more interactive than e-mail because messages are sent immediately, whereas e-mail messages can be queued up in a mail server for seconds or , Ethernet connection, or the supplied 16MB flash-memory card. The handheld teach pendant pendant or pendent In architecture, a sculpted ornament suspended from a vault or ceiling, especially an elongated boss (carved keystone) at the junction of the intersecting ribs of the fan vaulting associated with the English Perpendicular style. has a touch pen that allows notes to be written directly on the screen. The controls provide 22 spare inputs and 20 spare outputs, which can be expanded to 200 total. Configurations range from "economy" pick-and-place versions to ultra-high-speed models. Two-stage vertical arm is standard on SRRAII-a and AERAII-a types. Sterling: (414) 354-0970/PTDirect: 843TB * AEC: (630) 595-1060/PT Direct: 129NK [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
