Computer techniques used in industrial robots

Abstract

The term ‘Flexible Automation’ is used by Cincinnati Milacron to describe their Industrial Robots. Many aspects of this flexibility have occurred because of the computer control being used and the introduction of computer software techniques into the system. Not only has the computer enabled major improvements in the operation of today's robots, but many extra application techniques have benefitted from methods of programming decision making routines. Both system operation and software routines are discussed in the paper.
