ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 American National Standard for Industrial
Robots and Robot Systems
This standard provides guidelines for the manufacture and integration of
Industrial Robots and Robot Systems with emphasis on their safe use, the
importance of risk assessment and establishing personnel safety. This
standard is a national adoption of the International Standards ISO 10218-
1 and ISO 10218-2 for Industrial Robots and Robot Systems, and offers a
global safety standard for the manufacture and integration of such
systems.
ArcWorld
Robotic welding systems delivering flexible integrated robotics into the
welding processes. ArcWorlds can be configured with multiple robots, a
heavy-duty Positioner or servo-controlled external axes for coordinated
motion.
Arm
An interconnected set of links and powered joints comprising a Robot that
supports and/or moves a wrist and hand or end-effector through space.
The arm itself does not include the end-effector.

and
Articulated Robot
A Robot with an arm that is broken into sections (links) by one or more
joints. Each of the joints represents a degree of freedom in the Robot
system and allows translation and rotary motion.
Articulation
Describes a jointed device, such as a jointed Robot. The joints provide
rotation about a vertical axis, and elevation out of the horizontal plane.
This allows a Robot to be capable of reaching into confined spaces.
Automatic Measurement Function
For optimal Robot motion, the mass properties of the end-effector should
be specified. These properties can be derived from a CAD model of the
tool. The Automatic Measurement Function is an alternative to a CAD
model, and it uses the Robot arm itself to measure the tool properties.
With this function, the user can register the load of tool, the position of the
tools center of gravity and the moment of inertia at the center of gravity.
Automatic Mode

.
Axis
A direction used to specify the robot motion in a linear or rotary mode.
(ISO 8373)
Axis Interference
The Axis Interference Area is a function that judges the current position of
each axis and outputs a signal based on whether the current position is
within a predefined range.
B
Base
The stable platform to which an industrial robotic arm is attached.
