Ceiling mounted robot.


TM Robotics (Europe) Ltd has launched a ceiling mounted version of the Toshiba Machine TH450 SCARA (Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm), which will save space in the manufacturing cell by allowing access to the working area from above. The robot is set to find applications across the nutraceutical manufacturing industry where it will be used for a variety of pick and place tasks. The TH450 is amongst the quickest SCARA robots of its size on the market and achieves cycle times of less than 0.3 seconds. Arm lengths of 450 mm and a payload (1) Refers to the "actual data" in a packet or file minus all headers attached for transport and minus all descriptive meta-data.

Linear and circular conveyor synchronization (1) See synchronous and synchronous transmission.

(2) Ensuring that two sets of data are always the same. See data synchronization.

(3) Keeping time-of-day clocks in two devices set to the same time. See NTP.
