This document provides an overview of industrial robotics, including robot anatomy, control systems, end effectors, applications, and programming. It describes the typical components of a robot like links, joints, drives, and sensors. Common robot configurations and their joint notation are shown. The document also discusses robot programming methods including leadthrough and textual languages, as well as simulation for offline programming.
CNC programming basics include:
1) Programs consist of a start, blocks of NC code, and an end. Blocks contain line numbers and commands like G01 for linear interpolation.
2) Absolute and incremental coordinate systems are used. Absolute defines positions from a fixed zero point, while incremental uses changes from the prior position.
3) G and M commands like G01 for linear moves or M03 to turn the spindle on are self-holding and remain active until deactivated explicitly. Reference points define the machine, tool, and workpiece coordinates.
The document discusses industrial robots, including their basic components, types of joints, movement and precision, power sources, sensors, end effectors, and applications. An industrial robot generally consists of rigid links connected by joints to form an arm with an end effector or hand. It is controlled by a computer and can be programmed to perform automated tasks through variable motions. The document covers various robotic systems and their use in manufacturing.
This document discusses robot programming methods. It describes different types of robot programming including joint-level, robot-level, and high-level programming. It also covers various robot programming methods such as manual, walkthrough, leadthrough, and offline programming. Specific programming languages and their applications are also summarized.
This document defines robots and describes different types of industrial robots. It begins by defining a robot as a machine that can carry out complex actions automatically through programming to resemble human movements and functions. The main components of a robot are then outlined as the robot arms, sensors, end parts, controller, and drive. Several common types of industrial robots are also described, including Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical/polar, SCARA, articulated, and parallel robots. Each robot type is suited for different assembly or manufacturing tasks.
This document provides an overview of basic CNC milling machine programming for FANUC controls. It covers topics such as general and machine coordinate systems, work coordinate systems, work datum setting, basic G and M codes, tool length compensation, cutter radius compensation, and programming examples for simple shapes. The examples demonstrate absolute and incremental programming, work offsets, tool calls, and the use of subprograms.
The document discusses the components, control system, and programming of KUKA robots, including the control panel, robot controller, mechanical construction with 6 axes of movement, coordinate systems, setup procedures like mastering and tool calibration, applications for welding and milling, and programming motion using linear and circular paths.
