nts that fit on the end of the robot’s arm. These attachments connected to the end of the robot’s arm allow the robot to lift parts, s potweld, paint. arcweld, drill, deburr, and do a variety of tasks, depending on what is required of the robot. robotic system can also control the work cell of the operating robot. The work cell of the robot is the total environment in which the robot must perform its task. Included within this cell may be the controller ,the robot manipulator, a work table, safety features, or a conveyor. All the equipment that is required in order for the robot to do its job is included in the work cell. In addition ,signals from outside devices can municate with the robot in order to tell the robot when it should assemble parts, pick up parts, or unload parts to a conveyor. The robotic system has three basic ponents: the manipulator, the controller, and the power . Manipulator The manipulator, which does the physical work of the robotic system, consists of two sections: the mechanical section and the attached appendage. The manipulator also has a base to which the appendages are attached . The base of the manipulator is usually fixed to the work area. Sometimes, though, the base may be movable. In this case, the base attached to either a rail or a track ,allowing the manipulator to be moved from one location to anther. As, mentioned previously, the appendage extends from the base of the robot. The appendage is the arm of the robot. It can be either a straight, movable arm or a jointed arm. The jointed arm is also known as an articulated arm. The appendages of the robot manipulator give the manipulator its various axes of motion .These axes are attached to a fixed base, which ,in turn, is secured to a mounting .This mounting ensures that the manipulator will remain in one location. At the end of the arm, a wrist is connected. The wrist is made up of additional axes and a wrist flange. The wrist flange allows the robot user to connect different tooling to the wrist for different jobs. The manipulator’s axes allow it to perform work within a certain area. This area is called the work cell of the robot, and its size corresponds to the size of the illustrates the work cell of a typical assembly robot. As the robot’s physical size increases, the size of the work cell must also increase. The movement of the manipulator is controlled by actuators, or drive system. The actuators, or drive system, allows the various axes to move within the work cell. The drive
