Introduction

A robot is a virtual ormechanical artificial agent. In practice, it is usually an electro-mechanical machine which is guided by computer or electronic programming, and is thus able to do tasks on its own. Another common characteristic is that by its appearance or movements, a robot often conveys a sense that it has intent or agency of its own.

ABB is the leading supplier of industrial robots, flexible manufacturingsystems and service activities. Oriented solutions are available to manufacturers to improve productivity and product quality, always ensuring a safe working environment. ABB has installed more than 190,000 robots worldwide.

A "Robot" is a reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator to move materials, parts, tools or specialized devices through specialized movements or through programmedmotions for the development of various tasks.

Robotics is the science and technology of robots. It deals with the design, manufacture and application of robots. Robotics combines various disciplines such as: mechanics, electronics, informatics, artificial intelligence and control engineering. Other important areas are algebra, robotics, PLCs and state machines.

Robot ABB

The robot has 6 degreesof freedom or axes of motion.

Robot Axes:

Axis 1: Base.

Axis 2: Vertical Arm.
(Lower Arm)
Axis 3: Horizontal Arm.
(Upper Arm)
Axis 4: Rotating the Horizontal Arm.

Axis 5: Wrist.

Axis 6: Rotating Mounting Plate.

1.- Operation mode selector.

Auto (Production Mode)

Manual (Programming Mode)

Manual 100% (Maximum speed manual mode)

2.- Engine start button.

This button is used to turn the engines in the AUTO
mode. When the button is lit, the engines are
turned on. You used to reset the emergency stop
conditions.

3.- Emergencystop button

This button for the operation of the robot
immediately. Regardless of the previous state
and mode of operation. No voltage is fed motors
in emergency stop.

4.- Hour meter.

The hour meter is used to keep count of the hours of operation when the motors areenergized, which will allow scheduled maintenance activities of the robot.
