3D Graphic Display Function
The 3D Graphic Display Function (this will be called 3D Display Function)
is that, a 3D model of the Manipulator is displayed on the programming
pendant window, and the current value of the Manipulator can be
confirmed. By using the multi-window function, the job's teaching position
displayed in the job content can also be confirmed on the 3D display
window. When the functional safety function is valid, the functional safety
range can also be displayed.
A
Absolute Data (ABSO Data)
Absolute Data (ABSO Data) is a correction factor for data that establishes
an indicated value of zero when the Manipulator is at the predetermined
Home (calibration position).
Accuracy
Accuracy is the measurement of the deviation between the command
characteristic and the attained characteristic (R15.05-2), or the precision
with which a computed or calculated Manipulator position can be attained.
Accuracy is normally worse than the arm's repeatability. Accuracy is not
constant over the workspace, due to the effect of link kinematics.
Active Compliant Robot
An active compliant robot is one in which motion modification during the
performance of a task is initiated by the control system. The induced
motion modification is slight, but sufficient to facilitate the completion of a
desired task.
Actual Position
The position or location of the tool control point. Note that this will not be
exactly the same as the demand position, due to a multitude of unsensed
errors, such as link deflection, transmission irregularity, tolerances in link
lengths, etc.
Actuator
A power mechanism used to effect motion, or maintain position of the
Manipulator (for example, a motor which converts electrical energy to
effect motion of the Manipulator) (R15.07). The actuator responds to a
signal received from the control system.
