peedД«ot can be operated in three different mo Me important specifications to look for in bot are: ayload each upplementary load. ROBOT SPECIFICATIONABB robots are specified using a designation IRB say for example, IRB140, IRB1400, IRB2400, IRB1600, IRB6600, IRB340 etc. The tool that is attached to the Tool Mounting Flange of the robot is known as the end_effector, it may be cutting tool, drill bit, gripper (vacuum, pneumatic or servo), welding gun, hemming tool, glue gun etc.ДЄ WELDING ROBOT SYSTEM Robot + Application Equipment+ Work holding device+ EOAT+ peripheral equipments +interface/control panels+ safety = ROBOT SYSTEMApplication Equipment The FLEXPENDANT is the man_machine interface for an IRC5 controller, it is also known as GTPU (Graphical Teach Pendant Unit). IRC5 stands for Industrial Robot Controller (Fifth Generation) Transformer steps down 415 VAC to 230 VAC. The SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) supplies 24 VDC to main computer, axis computers, I/O Boards etc Contactors cut off supply from motors as and when required. Drive units control the torque, acceleration and speed of the joints. Axis computers perform all the calculations of individual joints. It is a Dual cabinet controller.ДЄ main computer does all the primary computing job. The brake release buttons when pressed release the brakes.ДЄ controller is the brain behind the functioning of a robot The picture below shows the IRC5 controller of ABB.

The last 3 axes (4/5/6) of a robot are called as the minor axes because they allow the wrist to reorient in any required direction without changing its position. The first 3 axes (axis 1/2/3/) of a robot are known as the major axes because they help in positioning the wrist at a required point on the workpiece. In other words the number of rotary axes a manipulator has is known as its degree of freedom. The number of independent movements a robot can make is known as the degree of freedom of the robot manipulator. The SMB is connected to the controller via resolver cable. There is a separate battery for backing the SMB data in case of a power failure. Manipulator Open Link MechanismBase of robot Manipulator consists of Links (Rigid Arms) Each link is connected to previous link by jointsД®very joint of a robot has a resolver, the resolver measures the position and velocity of a joint and sends the data to the SMB (Serial Measurement Board) located at the base of the manipulator.

Brakes are installed in every joint motor to hold the manipulator in position against gravity in motors off state. An industrial manipulator has 4 OR 6 degrees of freedom. Actuators are coupled to joints via geared transmission. Each joint is driven by an actuator (AC Servo motors in ABB robots).
