B-TECH. ELECT. LEVEL 400
ACCRA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

ELECTURER: MATHIAS B. MICHAEL


FEBRUARY, 2021
contents

• Introduction
• Robot Anatomy
• Robot Control Systems
• End Effectors
• Industrial Robot Applications
• Robot Programming
Introduction
• An industrial robot is a general-purpose,
programmable machine possessing certain
human-like characteristics
• The most obvious interlegent characteristics of
an industrial robot is its mechanical arm, that is
used to perform various industrial tasks
• Other human-like characteristics are
– The robot’s capability to respond to sensory inputs
– Communicate with othermachines
– Make decisions
Introduction (cont.)
• The development of robot technology
followed the development of numerical
control,
• And the two technologies are quite similar.
• They both involve coordinated control of
multiple axis and
• They both use dedicated digital computers as
controllers
Introduction
• Whereas NC machines are designed to
perform specific processes (e.g., machining,
sheet metal hole punching, thermal cutting)
• Robots are designed for a wider variety of
tasks
• Typical production applications of industrial
robots include spot welding, material transfer,
machine loading, spray painting and assembly
Introduction (cont.)
• Benefits of industrial robots are;
– Robots can be substituted for humans in hazardous
or uncomfortable work environments
– A robot performs its work cycle with a consistency
and repeatability that cannot be attained by humans
– Robots can be reprogrammed, when the production
run of the current task is completed, a robot can be
reprogrammed and equipped with the necessary
tooling to perform an altogether different task
Introduction (cont.)
• Benefits of industrial robots are;
– Robots are controlled by computers and can
therefore be connected to other computer systems
to achieve computer integrated manufacturing.
