sensors. The Robot is also equipped with a USB port that
can be used to connect the Robot System to a computer.
The Robot System comes with the RoboCIM 5150
Software which allows students to control or simulate the
motion of the Robot. The software provides a three-di-
mensional, virtual environment and an easy-to-use
interface allowing students to easily learn the
fundamentals of robotics. Two programming modes are
available: an intuitive icon programming mode and a text
programming mode to create more complex tasks.
RoboCIM 5150 Software
The Robot and external devices offered as options
with the Robot System are equipped with location pins
(or push-lock fasteners). These pins are designed to
insert into the perforations of the metallic work surfaces.
This easy-to-use mechanism ensures the accurate
positioning of the equipment when repeating programs.

The Robot System is available in two models (Models
5150-1 and 5150-2). The Robot System, Model 5150-1,
can be controlled and programmed from a host computer
running the RoboCIM 5150 Software. The Robot System
(with Teach Pendant), Model 5150-2, comes with all the
equipment of the Model 5150-1 plus a Teach Pendant
which can be used to control and program the Robot.
Programs created with the Teach Pendant can be
uploaded from (or downloaded to) a computer using a
USB connection. Both models come with student and
instructor manuals, user guides, all leads and cables
required to operate the system, and a solid-metal
perforated Work Surface that can be put atop a regular
work table or installed on one of the optional benches.
