Title: Industrial Applications of Computers


1
Industrial Applications of Computers
  • Robotics

2
Robots and Robotics
  • The word robot was first used by Karel Capek in
    his 1921 play Rossums Univesal Robots. The
    word described perfect tireless workers. It was
    ironic and described the dehumanisation of
    society
  • Robotics is the science or technology of robots,
    their design, manufacture, application, and use

3
Industrial Robots
  • Are reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator
    designed to move materials, tools, or specialized
    devices, through variable programmed motions for
    the performance of a range of tasks

4
Use of Robots in Industry
  • Today most robots used are found in factories and
    they are referred to as industrial robots.
  • Ten years ago, 9 out of 10 robots were being
    bought by auto companies - now, less than 50 of
    robots are bought by car manufacturers.
  • Robots are used in warehouses, laboratories,
    research, energy plants, hospitals, space
    exploration etc
  • Robots are a way business owners can be more
    competitive

5
Why robots and what can they do?
  • Robots never get sick or need to rest and can
    work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Useful when the task is dangerous for a person.
  • Robots don't get bored, so repetitive and
    unrewarding work is no problem for a robot.
  • Spray Coating
  • Assembling Operations
  • Material Removal (including bomb removal)
  • Cutting Operations
  • Part inspection, sorting, cleaning, polishing

6
Types of Robots
  • Rectangular/Cartesian
  • Cylindrical
  • SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm)
  • Polar/Spherical
  • Jointed-arm or Revolute

7
General Components of an Industrial Robot
  • Manipulator (end effectors)
  • The part of the robot that performs the task
  • Controller
  • Brain or computer center which coordinates the
    robots movements
  • Power supply
  • Vehicle
  • Used to move the robot on a track, free wheels,
    treads, or some type of legs/feet

8
Robotic Power Sources
  • Hydraulic
  • Pneumatic
  • Electric
  • Vacuum
  • Often a combination the end-effectors mostly
    pneumatic

9
Industrial Applications of Robots
  • Spray Painting
  • Parts Transferring
  • Small Parts Assembling
  • Electronic Assembling
  • Arc Welding
  • Inspecting
  • Automated Warehouse

10
Business Use of Robots
  • Outer Space
  • Under the Ocean
  • Medicine
  • Promotion
  • Sports

11
Robots (1)
  • Cartesian robot
  • Arm moves in 3 linear axes. X,y,z axes

12
Robots (2)
  • Cylindrical coordinates robot
  • Arm rotates about the base, moves in and out, and
    up and down

13
Robots (3)
  • SCARA Robot
  • Rotates in 2 axes in the horizontal plane and
    moves linearly up and down

14
Robots (4)
  • Joined-arm or revolute-coordinates robot
  • 3 axes rotational

15
Multisensory Articulated Manipulator
16
