OSHA Technical Manual 1“Industrial robots are programmable multifunctional mechanical devices designed to move ________, _______, ______, or ______________ through variable programmed motions to perform a variety of tasks.” |
materials, parts, tools, specialized devices |
|
|
The OSHA manual goes on to say“An industrial robot system includes not only industrial robots but also any ________ and/or_______ required for the robot to perform its tasks as well as sequencing or monitoring communication interfaces.” |
devices, sensors |
|
|
3 power sources robots use |
1. Hydraulic 2. Pneumatic 3. Electric |
|
|
4 descriptions of Hydraulic Power |
1. High power to size ratio at robot. 2. Used for medium to high force or weight applications. 3. Requires a hydraulic power system and high pressure hoses/connections. 4. Subject to fluid leaks, fire hazards, noise, etc. |
|
|
4 descriptions of Pneumatic Power |
1. Compressed air readily available in industrial settings. 2. Movements generally to stop limits, either open or closed, no in-between. 3. Lower forces than hydraulics, generally used for low weight or low to medium force applications. 4. Noisy. |
|
|
6 descriptions of Electric Power |
1. Can be AC or DC electrical power. 2. Good, precise motion control. 3. Clean, no contamination. 4. Low noise 5. Limited force development. 6. Most prevalent type in industry when weight or force capacity not a major factor. |
|
|
6 types of end effectors (End of Arm Tooling) |
1.Mechanical grippers (fingers). 2.Vacuum grippers (flat surfaces). 3.Vacuum suckers (small parts, threads) 4.Magnetic grippers (for ferrous metal). 5.Pneumatic grippers (variable force requirements). 6.Hydraulic grippers (high force requirements). |
|
|
In using pneumatics, a device must either be _____ or ______. |
Open or closed, there is no in-between |
|
|
3 facts of Industrial Robots. |
1. Stationary machines (bolted to floor, wall, etc.) 2. Designed to pick up and manipulate parts. 3. Mostly used for assembly jobs that are: dirty, dangerous, dull (highly repetitive), and/or difficult. |
