ROBOTICS EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Takt Time - Correct Answers -How often your production system breathes
(How often something is produced)
Throughput Time - Correct Answers -How long it takes to produce from start to finish
Machine Tending - Correct Answers -Loading & unloading of industrial machines
ANSI - Correct Answers -American National Standard Institute
RIA - Correct Answers -Robotics Industries Association
Trade Association for Robot Companies
Industrial Robot According to RIA (three things) - Correct Answers -1) Reprogrammable
2) Multifunctional
3) Manipulator - can manipulate objects/things - Physical robot arm also called
manipulator
Peripheral Device - Correct Answers -Generally defined as any auxiliary device such as
a computer mouse or keyboard that connects to and works with the computer in some
way.
Other examples of peripherals are image scanners, tape drives, microphones,
loudspeakers, webcams, and digital cameras.
Standard IP67 - Correct Answers -Regulates water proofing (for spray painting)
Degrees of Freedom (DOF) - Correct Answers -Axis or joint that is independently
controlled
Colors of Robots (ABB, Kuku, Fanic, Panasonic, Moto Man) - Correct Answers -ABB -
Orange
Kuku - Orange
Fanic - Yellow
Panasonic - White Grey
Moto Man - White Grey
Service Robots outnumber Industry Robots (T/F) - Correct Answers -TRUE
Service Robots - cleaning, self-driving, search/rescue, educational, etc.
, AGV Meaning - Correct Answers -Automatically Guided Vehicle
(On a track based on program)
Industrial Robots are used to: (3 things) - Correct Answers -1) Increase manufacturing
productivity
2)Do routine & tedious tasks
(tightening nuts & bolts)
3) Perform jobs that might be hazardous to human workers
(bomb defuser, space robots, handling nuclear waste)
Productivity - Correct Answers -How many things are made
Industrial Robot Definition - Correct Answers -Reprogrammable, multifunctional,
manipulator
NO INTERVENTION OF A HUMAN
Preprogrammed Locations - Correct Answers -Paths/points that the robot must follow to
accomplish the work
POINT - Correct Answers -Desecrate point (not how to get there)
PATH - Correct Answers -Follow a route religiously
Manipulator - Correct Answers -Does the physical work of the system
ARM OF ROBOT that allows it to bend, reach & twist (can have two DOF)
Joints/Axes - Correct Answers -Provides motion to the manipulator
(DOF - independently controlled joint/axes)
Tooling
EOAT
End Effectors - Correct Answers -Not part of the robotic system itself
End of Arm Tooling
Used to pick shit up
Ex) Gripper, soft hand, etc.
EOAT - Correct Answers -End of arm tooling - anything added to the end of the arm to
preform a function
3 Bastic Components of the Robotic System - Correct Answers -1) Manipulator (arm)
2) Controller
3) Power Source
*Fourth is end effector, but rarely comes with robot when bought
