Positioner
Module
Self-contained component of a package. This component may contain
sub-components known as sub-modules.
Motomount
Yaskawa proprietary mounting block allowing for limited play on multiple
axis
Motion Axis
The line defining the axis of motion either linear or rotary segment of a
Manipulator.
Motor
Muting
While testing a robot program, the deactivation of any presence sensing
safeguarding devices during the full robot cycle or a portion of the cycle.
N
Notice
NOTICE is the preferred signal word to address practices not related to
personal injury. The safety alert symbol should not be used with this signal
word. As an alternative to “NOTICE”, the word “CAUTION” without the
safety alert symbol may be used to indicate a message not related to
personal injury.
O
Off-line Programming
A programming method where the task program is defined on devices or
computers separate from the robot for later input of programming
information to the robot. (ISO 8373)b. A means of programming a robot
while the robot is functioning. This becomes important in manufacturing
and assembly line production due to keeping productivity high while the
robot is being programmed for other tasks.
Operator
The person designated to start, monitor and stop the intended productive
operation of a robot system. An operator may also interface with a robot
for productive purposes. (R15.06)
Optical Encoder
A detection sensor, which measures linear or rotary motion by detecting
the movement of markings past a fixed beam of light. This can be used to
count revolutions, identify parts, etc.
Optical Proximity Sensors
Robot sensors which measure visible or invisible light reflected from an
object to determine distance. Lasers are used for greater accuracy.
