Teach
To program a Manipulator arm by manually guiding it through a series of
motions and recording the position in the robot Controller memory for
playback.
Teach Lock
While the Teach Lock is set, the mode of operation is tied to the Teach
Mode and the machines cannot be played back using either [START] or
external input. For safety purposes, always set the mode switch to
“TEACH” before beginning to teach.
Teach Mode
A Controller mode in which a Manipulator is programmed by manually
guiding it through a series of motions and recording the position in the
Controller memory for playback. Industrial robots that do not have an
active Power and Force Limiting Function require the use of a Three
Position Enabling Device in Teach Mode.
Teach Pendant
See
Teaching Window
Teaching Window is a user interface screen on the programming pendant.
This window contains the JOB CONTENT window and teaching is
conducted within this window. The JOB CONTENT window contains the
following items: line numbers, cursor, instructions, additional items,
comments, etc.
Through-beam
An object detection system used within a robot's imaging sensor system.
A finely focused beam of light is mounted at one end and a detector at the
other. When the beam of light is broken, an object is sensed.
Time Measuring Function
Time measuring function measures the execution time for the specified
section in the job or the signal output time of the specified signal.
Tool
A term used loosely to define a working apparatus mounted to the end of
the Manipulator arm, such as a hand, gripper, welding torch, screw driver,
etc. See
and
.
Tool & arm Interference
In a system with one Controller and multiple Manipulators, the Tool & Arm
Interference Check Function can be used to detect possible interference
to avoid collision during operation. The following three patterns can be
checked:
• Arm against arm
• Arm against tool
• Tool against tool
Tool against tool
Interference is checked by using a cylinder that is slightly larger than the
arm or tool. A sphere is placed on both ends of the cylinder. If the cylinder
and spheres of one Manipulator have any contact with those of the other
while moving, the Manipulators stop because interference was detected.
