TASK FOR LAB EXERCISE - 1

1. Make a program of ASRS on station 1. Pick the material from rack 37 read bar code and place it on
rack 1.
2. Define the following:
Templates
ASRS robotic arm
Teach pendant
3. Write the procedure of ASRS system.
4. Write advantages and disadvantages of ASRS system.
5. Describe the homing routine of ASRS robotic Arm. Note the order in which the axes moved, fast or
slow dialog boxes and message on the screen.
6. In this activity the program flow changed as a result of an input signal. Describe an industrial
application in which an input signal changes the action in the work-cell.
7.

TASK FOR LAB EXERCISE 2

Q1: Refer to the actual SCORBOT-ER 4u robot. In the figure on the worksheet, mark the
following parts of the robot:
Robot joints: base, shoulder, elbow, wrist pitch, wrist roll
Gripper
Motors and encoders

Q2: What are the three key elements in the definition of a robot?
Q3: To work on station 1, which system and software you will operate?
Q4: What allows a flexible automation system to perform different operations?
Q5: what is difference between station 3 and station 4?
Q6: How many types of robot are using in the CIM lab?

TASK FOR LAB EXERCISE 3

Q 1: What are the four most important components in a robotic system?
Q 2: What allows a flexible automation system to perform different Operations?
Q 3: Describe the homing routine. Note the order in which the axes moved, fast or slow motion,
dialog boxes and messages on the screen?
Q 4: Describe the system response to the encounter between the robot arm and the table?
Q 5: What effect does the Close Gripper command have on the gripper?
Q 6: What kind of objects can the SCORBOT gripper grasp?
Q 7: What is the robot home position and why is it needed?
Q 8: What did you observe? Was it easier to manipulate the robot at a slower or faster speed?
Q 9: Modify the program so that the robot returns the object from the Place position to the Pick
position. Include both programs in the report.
