What is the definition of a robot?

A

It is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent

24
Q

What is the definition of an industrial robot?

A

It is reprogrammable

25
Q

Why do you buy an industrial robot?

A

It will help you to achieve higher quality through higher repetitiveness

26

Universal joint

37
Q

What is the purpose of a fixture?

A

A fixture is a device for locating, holding and supporting workpieces during manufacturing operations

38
Q

What is the flag unit in a fixture?

A

It goes between the Structure of the fixture and the Pickup

39
Q

How can jigs be eliminated?

A

In CNC machines the tool path is digitally programmed and stored in memory, thus can be utilized instead of jigs

40
Q

How can fixtures be eliminated?

A

By robots to hold the part instead of putting the parts in a fixture

41
Q

What is the 3-2-1 method in fixture design?

A

A workpiece is confined when banked against three points in one plane, two points in another plane, and one point in a third plane

A

9

43
Q

What is absolute accuracy?

A

Absolute accuracy is about going accurate to an unknown position

44
Q

What does calibration of a robot do?

A

Robot calibration is the process of identifying certain parameters in the kinematic structure

45
Q

What is giving bad accuracy?

A

Internal loading and structural resonance affecting the robot path

46
Q

Why is an industrial robot risky to use in a grinding process?

A

Due to bad stiffness in the servos the robot will not maintain its calculated position
