Industrial robots.KUKA Robotics robotics, science and technology of general purpose, programmable machine systems. Contrary to the popular fiction image of robots as ambulatory machines of human appearance capable of performing almost any task, most robotic systems are anchored to fixed positions Corp. introduced its Linear Slide, a self-contained one-axis unit that adds a seventh or eighth axis when used with another robot. It is capable of being floor or ceiling mounted and comes equipped with a mounting face on the carriage for the attachment of the robot. The slide is driven by a brushless AC servomotor ser·vo·mo·tor n. A motor that controls the action of the mechanical device in a servomechanism. [French servomoteur : Latin servus, slave + French moteur, motor with rack and pinion rack and pinion Mechanical device consisting of a bar of rectangular cross section (the rack), having teeth on one side that mesh with teeth on a small gear (the pinion). If the pinion rotates about a fixed axis, the rack will move in a straight path. gearing, and its range of movement is managed by programmable software limit switches with a safeguard of mechanical stops if these switches are overrun 1. overrun - A frequent consequence of data arriving faster than it can be consumed, especially in serial line communications. For example, at 9600 baud there is almost exactly one character per millisecond, so if a silo can hold only two characters and the machine takes .--KUKA Robotics Corp. |
