B. Arm Configuration System: Polar (Spherical) Configuration

One common type of robotic arm configuration used in manufacturing is the Polar Configuration, also
known as Spherical Configuration.

1. Description:

The Polar robotic arm consists of a combination of a rotating base, a pivoting arm, and a telescopic
or radial extension. The robot moves in a spherical coordinate system, hence the name.

It has the following movements:

Rotational motion about the vertical axis (base rotation).

Radial movement in and out (telescoping or extending arm).

Elevation or pitch movement (up and down arm motion).

2. Components:

Base: Allows rotation around the vertical axis.

Arm (Radial Joint): Extends or retracts radially from the base.

Shoulder Joint (Pivot): Moves the arm up and down.

3. Degrees of Freedom:

Typically, a polar robot has 3 degrees of freedom, which allow it to access a spherical work envelope.

4. Applications:

Die casting

Injection molding

Welding operations

Material handling in foundries

Q.2 A Explain working principle of Steeper motor with neat sketch.

Q.2 A: Working Principle of Stepper Motor (with Neat Sketch)

1. Introduction:

A Stepper Motor is an electromechanical device that converts electrical pulses into discrete mechanical
movements. It rotates in fixed angular steps, which makes it ideal for precise position control in
robotics and automation.

2. Working Principle:

The stepper motor works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It consists of:

A rotor (the rotating part) — usually a permanent magnet or a toothed iron core.
A stator (stationary part) — made up of multiple windings arranged in phases.

How it works:

When current is supplied to the stator windings in a sequence, magnetic fields are produced.

These magnetic fields interact with the rotor, pulling it to align with the energized winding.
By sequentially energizing the windings (called stepping), the rotor turns in discrete steps.

Each pulse moves the motor by a fixed angle (e.g., 1.8° per step for a 200-step motor).

3. Types of Stepper Motors:

Permanent Magnet Stepper

Variable Reluctance Stepper

Hybrid Stepper (combines both)

4. Advantages:

Precise position and speed control

Open-loop control (no feedback needed)

High torque at low speeds
