Across
- 3. / The stationary x-axis supportive structure that holds the gantry head in the air. It is made up of the following elements: the legs, the x-beam, the buss bar system, and sometimes an optional crossmain (horizontal I-beam that may be used for extra stability).
- 4. / An electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
- 5. / A device which detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
- 6. / A flat, often vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed, or it is an enclosed unit that is the part of a system that users can access
- 8. / A sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position.
- 11. / A modular block with an insulated frame that secures two or more wires together. It consists of a clamping component and a conducting strip.
- 12. Lock /an electronic locking mechanism that is attached to the gate door.
- 15. /Responds to changes in the environment and produces a suitable electrical signal for processing in an electronic circuit.
- 16. Chain / The cabled system that distributes the power around the gantry system to all the mechanical devices from the Buss Bar.
- 17. / A sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.
- 19. / A service box that connects a main power line and distributes electrical currents to the various circuits.
- 20. / A specialized transducer that converts radiofrequency (RF) fields into alternating current (AC) or vice-versa.
- 22. / The structure that holds the YZ-carriage which creates the y-axis for the YZ-carriage to move along.
- 24. / Consists of the y-beam, the YZ-carriage, and the control cabinet mounted to the y axis connected to the y- and z-axis energy chains.
- 25. Sensor /Electronic device that measures the distance of a target object by emitting ultrasonic sound waves and converts the reflected sound into an electrical signal.
- 26. /a detailed diagram in the process industry which shows the piping and process equipment together with the instrumentation and control devices.
- 27. / The “connective tissue” of the gantry/robot. There is a buss bar for each head, then a y-axis energy chain, and a z-axis energy chain. Any additional energy chains would be for special features of any system.
- 30. / A mechanical component that allows the EOAT to turn, and the product can be palleted at whatever angle is needed.
- 31. / A device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit
Down
- 1. / Moves along the y-axis of the gantry while holding the weight, structure, and movement of the Z-axis.
- 2. / A display device which allows the user to interact with a computer by touching areas on the screen.
- 7. / Use the mechanical movement of the actuator plunger to control or change the electrical switch's state.
- 9. / A type of connector that consists of a jack into which a ___ connector can be inserted. A ___ connector can be converted into a ___ connector and vice versa by a tool called a gender changer.
- 10. / A hardware component that supplies power to an electrical device.
- 13. / an interactive pair of sensors that use beams of light to be able to sense if people or products have broken their connection.
- 14. / The generator system used to power the gantry as it moves along the x-axis. Each head has its own generated power source.
- 18. / (A diagram or other representation) symbolic and simplified, in particular of an electric or electronic circuit.
- 21. / are the programmable functions of the gantry. This can come in the form of written programming, PLC (programmable logic controls), the Supervisor controls, the HMI (Human Machine Interface), the touch screen operator controls, and many more.
- 23. / The vertical moving component of the gantry that uses structure to reach down toward the product below and is attached to the end of arm tool (EOAT).
- 26. / an industrial computer control system that continuously monitors the state of input devices and makes decisions based upon a custom program to control the state of output devices.
- 28. / The “hand” of the gantry. It is attached to the bottom of the z-axis. This the part of the gantry or articulating arm robot that actually handles the product.
- 29. / used to keep people out of certain areas as well out of the range of the moving robot while it is working.
