6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 1. rigid body In physics, a rigid body is an idealization of a solid body in which deformation is neglected. In other words, the distance between any two given points of a rigid body remains constant in time regardless of external forces exerted on it. Figure 2-2 revolute pair of EDUBOT-PUMA 560

6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 2. revolute joint A revolute joint (also called pin joint or hinge joint) is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used in mechanisms. Revolute joints provide single-axis rotation function used in many places such as door hinges, folding mechanisms, and other uni-axial rotation devices. 3. kinematic pair A kinematic pair is a connection between two bodies that imposes constraints on their relative movement.

6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 4. Articulated Robot An articulated robot is one which uses rotary joints to access its work space. Usually the joints are arranged in a “chain”, so that one joint supports another further in the chain. 5. Continuous Path A control scheme whereby the inputs or commands specify every point along a desired path of motion. The path is controlled by the coordinated motion of the manipulator joints.

6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 6. Kinematics The actual arrangement of rigid members and joints in the robot, which determines the robot's possible motions. Classes of robot kinematics include articulated, cartesian, parallel and SCARA. 7. Motion control For some applications, such as simple pick-and-place assembly, the robot need merely return repeatably to a limited number of pre-taught positions. For more sophisticated applications, such as welding and finishing (spray painting), motion must be continuously controlled to follow a path in space, with controlled orientation and velocity.

6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 8. Power source Some robots use electric motors, others use hydraulic actuators. The former are faster, the latter are stronger and advantageous in applications such as spray painting, where a spark could set off an explosion. 更多免费资源

6 Unit 2. Introduction of industrial robot Part2 Basic terms 9. Drive Some robots connect electric motors to the joints via gears; others connect the motor to the joint directly (direct drive). Using gears results in measurable 'backlash' which is free movement in an axis. Smaller robot arms frequently employ high speed, low torque DC motors, which generally require high gearing ratios; this has the disadvantage of backlash. In such cases the harmonic drive is often used.
