1、 附录 1 Industrial Robots and Electric drive system There are a variety of definitions of the term robot. Depending on the definition used, the number of robot installations worldwide varies widely. Numerous single-purpose machines are used in manufacturing plants that might appear to be robots. These
2、 machines are hardwired to perform a single function and cannot be reprogrammed to perform a different function. Such single-purpose machines do not fit the definition for industrial robots that is becoming widely accepted. This definition was developed by the Robot Institute of America: A robot is
3、a reprogrammable multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tools, or specialized devices through variable programmed motions for the performance of a variety of tasks. Note that this definition contains the words reprogrammable and multifunctional. It is these two characteristics
4、 that separate the true industrial robot from the various single-purpose machines used in modern manufacturing firms. The term “reprogrammable” implies two things: The robot operates accommodate a variety of manufacturing tasks. The term “multifunctional” means that the robot can, through reprogramm
5、ing and the use of different end-effectors, perform a number of different manufacturing tasks. Definitions written around these two critical characteristics are becoming the accepted definitions among manufacturing professionals. The first articulated arm came about in 1951 and was used by the U.S.
6、Atomic Energy Commission. In 1954, the first programmable robot was designed by George Devil. It was based on two important technologies: Numerical control (NC) technology. Remote manipulator technology. Numerical control technology provided a form of machine control ideally suited to robots. It all
7、owed for the control of motion by stored programs. These programs contain data points to which the robot sequentially moves, timing signals to initiate action and to stop movement, and logic statements to allow for decision making. Remote manipulator technology allowed a machine to be more than just
8、 another NC machine. It allowed such machines to become robots that can perform a variety of manufacturing tasks in both inaccessible and unsafe environments. By merging these two technologies, Devil developed the first industrial robot, an unsophisticated programmable materials handling machine. Th
9、e first commercially produced robot was developed in 1959. In 1962, the first industrial robot to be used on a production line was installed by General Motors Corporation. This robot was produced by Animation. A major step forward in robot control occurred in 1973 with the development of the T-3 ind
10、ustrial robot by Cincinnati Milacron. The T-3 robot was the first commercially produced industrial robot controlled by a minicomputer. Numerical control and remote manipulator technology prompted the wide-scale development and use of industrial roots. But major technological developments do not take
11、 place simply because of such new capabilities. Something must provide the impetus for taking advantage of these capabilities. In the case of industrial robots, the impetus was economics. The rapid inflation of wages experienced in the 1970s tremendously increased the personnel costs of manufacturin
12、g firms. At the same time, foreign competition became a serious problem for U.S. manufacturers. Foreign manufacturers who had undertaken automation on a wide-scale basis, such as those in Japan, began to gain an increasingly large share of the U.S. and world market for manufactured goods, particular
13、ly automobiles. Through a variety of automation techniques, including robots, Japanese manufacturers, beginning in the 1970s, were able to produce better automobiles more cheaply than no automatedU.S. manufacturers. Consequently, in order to survive, U.S. manufacturers were forced to consider any te
14、chnological developments that could help improve productivity. Though a variety of automation techniques, including robots, Japanese manufacturers, beginning in the 1970s, were able to produce better automobiles more cheaply than no automatedU.S. manufacturers. Consequently, in order to survive, U.S
