Integrator
A company that provides value added services that results in creation of
automation solutions by combining a robot and other automation and
controls equipment to create an automation solution for end users.
Intelligent Robot
A robot that can be programmed to make performance choices contingent
on sensory inputs with little or no help from human intervention. See
.
Interference Area
Interference Area is a function that prevents interference between multiple
Robots or the Robot and peripheral device. The areas can be set up to 64
areas. Three types of methods to use each interference area are as
follows: Cubic Interference, Outside of Cubic Area and Axis Interference.
Interpolation
The method by which endpoint paths are created. In general, to specify a
motion a few knot points are defined before all the intermediate positions
between them are calculated by mathematical interpolation. The
interpolation algorithm used therefore has a dramatic effect of the quality
of motion.
ISO
International Organization for Standardization
ISO 10218-1 Robots and robotic devices — Safety requirements for
industrial robots — Part 1: Robots
A robot specific safety specification that addresses manufacturer
requirements, functionality, required safety performance, hazards,
protective measures and documentation for the robot itself.
ISO 10218-2 Robots and robotic devices — Safety requirements for
industrial robots — Part 2: Robot systems and integration
A companion document to ISO 10218-1. This safety specification provides
guidance to both end users and robot integrators as it pertains to the safe
design, Installation and commissioning of robot systems, as well as
recommended procedures, safeguarding and information required for use.
ISO TS 15066(ANSI RIA 15.606): Robots and robotic devices -
Collaborative robots
Provides detailed guidance not found in ISO 10218 parts 1 or 2 for the
safe use of industrial robots operating collaboratively.
J
Jacobian matrix
The Jacobian matrix relates the rates of change of joint values with the
rates of change of endpoint co-ordinates. Essentially it is a set of
algorithm calculations that are processed to control the positioning of a
robot.
JOB
JOB is the YASKAWA name for a robot program created using
YASKAWA’s INFORM robot programming language. Typically, a JOB
consists of instructions that tell the Controller what to do and data that the
program uses when it is running.
