Across
- 2. Use the mechanical movement of the actuator plunger to control or change the electrical switch's state.
- 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).
- 8. Is used to keep people out of certain areas as well out of the range of the moving robot while it is working.
- 9. 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).
- 10. A device for making and breaking the connection in an electric circuit
- 14. / the programmable functions of the gantry. This can come in the form of written programming.
- 15. 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.
- 16. (A diagram or other representation) symbolic and simplified, in particular of an electric or electronic circuit
- 19. An electronic locking mechanism that is attached to the gate door.
- 22. A modular block with an insulated frame that secures two or more wires together. It consists of a clamping component and a conducting strip.
- 23. A sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact.
- 24. An electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit.
- 25. A hardware component that supplies power to an electrical device.
- 26. A sensor that facilitates measurement of mechanical position.
- 27. A display device which allows the user to interact with a computer by touching areas on the screen.
Down
- 1. Are an interactive pair of sensors that use beams of light to be able to sense if people or products have broken their connection.
- 4. A mechanical component that allows the EOAT to turn, and the product can be palleted at whatever angle is needed.
- 5. The generator system used to power the gantry as it moves along the x-axis. Each head has its own generated power source.
- 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
- 7. A device which detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or otherwise responds to it.
- 11. 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 change
- 12. Responds to changes in the environment and produces a suitable electrical signal for processing in an electronic circuit.
- 13. The structure that holds the YZ-carriage which creates the y-axis for the YZ-carriage to move along.
- 17. 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.
- 18. 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.
- 20. A specialized transducer that converts radiofrequency (RF) fields into alternating current (AC) or vice-versa.
- 21. 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.
