183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Gantry Robot A robot which has three degrees of freedom along the X, Y and Z coordinate system. Usually consists of a spooling system (used as a crane), which when reeled or unreeled provides the up and down motion along the Z axis.

Robot, and a Controller that gives detailed movement instructions. INFORM The robot programming language for YASKAWA robots. INFORM language allows the robot user to: instruct the robot to use its basic capabilities to fulfill a defined set of expectations and also to describe to the robot, through a definition of parameters and conditions, what the expectations are in some given situations or scenarios.

JOB is the YASKAWA name for a robot program created using YASKAWA’s INFORM robot programming language. Typically, a JOB consists of instructions that tell the Controller what to do and data that the program uses when it is running.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Joint A part of the Robot system, which allows a rotation and/or translational degree of freedom of a link of end-effector. Joint Interpolated Motion A method of coordinating the movement of the joints, such that all joints arrive at the desired location simultaneously.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Linear Interpolated Motion Is a method of path interpolation that commands the movement of the robot by moving each joint in a coordinated motion so that all axis arrive to the position at the same time. The path of the Tool Control Point (TCP) is predictable and will be linear.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Mirror Shift Function With the Mirror Shift Function, a job is converted to the job in which the path is symmetrical to that of the original job. This conversion can be performed for the specified coordinate among the X-Y, X-Z or Y-Z coordinate of the robot coordinates and the user coordinates.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Operator The person designated to start, monitor and stop the intended productive operation of a robot or robot system. An operator may also interface with a robot for productive purposes. (R15.06) Optical Encoder A detection sensor, which measures linear or rotary motion by detecting the movement of markings past a fixed beam of light.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Pendant Teaching The mapping and recording of the position and orientation of a robot and/ or Robot system as the robot is manually moved in increments from an initial state along a path to a final goal state. The position and orientation of each critical point (joints, robot base, etc.) is recorded and stored in a...

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Playback Operation Playback is the operation by which the taught job is played back. This function is used to decide where to resume the playback on the start operation after suspending the playback and moving the cursor or selecting other jobs.

See "Inductive Sensor". Pulse Coordinates YASKAWA robots define robot joint axes position in degrees for revolute joints. Pulse is also another way to specify robot joint position, and it does so in robot motor encoder pulse counts.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Risk Assessment The process of evaluating the intended use of a machine or system for foreseeable hazards and then determining the level of risk involved for the tasks identified. Risk Mitigation A secondary step in the risk assessment process that involves reducing the level of risk for the identified tasks, by applying risk reduction measures in order to eliminate or mitigate the hazards.

FSU generated signals. The safety logic circuit is programmed via an intuitive user interface that is supported on the YASKAWA Programming Pendant. It enables to set up the logical operations, such as stopping the Robot or outputting a signal if the servos are on.

The first or second axis of a robot is sometimes referred to as a shoulder axis as it somewhat resembles a human shoulder. This is often used in describing humanoid or dual-arm systems such as the YASKAWA Motoman® SDA10D. See "Safety Integrity Level"...

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary System Integrator See "Integrator" Teach To program a Robot arm by manually guiding it through a series of motions and recording the position in the Controller memory for playback. Teach Lock While the Teach Lock is set, the mode of operation is tied to the TEACH mode and the machines cannot be played back using either [START] or external input.

183574-1CD ArcWorld 50/50S/52/52S Appendix B B.1 Glossary Tool against tool Interference is checked by using a cylinder that is slightly larger than the arm or tool. A sphere is placed on both ends of the cylinder. If the cylinder and spheres of one Robot have any contact with those of the other while moving, the Robots stop because interference was detected.
