A control system is a device, or set of devices, that manages, commands, directs or regulates the behaviour of other devices or systems. Industrial control systems are used in industrial production for controlling an equipment or a machine.
2- Identify the hardware and software:
-hardware: Refers to objects that you can actually touch, like disks, disk drives,display screens, keyboards, printers, boards, and chips.
-software: software is untouchable. Software exists as ideas, concepts, and symbols, but it has no substance.
3- Recognise the types of end effectors:
End effectors can employ different methods of product handling. These methods include, but are not limited to, clamp style, fork style, vacuum style and other custom designs.
1 Clamp Style – General purpose mechanical tool capable of handling a wide variety of products by clamping the sides of the package. This tool is capable of picking up and placing multiple packages at once when products are in the same orientation.
2 Fork Style – General purpose mechanical tool suitable for rigid, semi-rigid and non-rigid products that require support from beneath. This tool is capable of picking up and placing multiple packages at once when products are in the same orientation.
3 Finger Style – A mechanical tool that is most commonly used in handling product in bags.
4 Vacuum Style – Uses a vacuum system to pick product from the top. There are two primary types of vacuum heads: A full surface pad or individual vacuum cups arranged in a way to accommodate the needs of the palletising system. The full surface pad is more universal and the vacuum cup type is more product specific.
4- describe the main tasks of end effectors:
-if it drilling it drills
-if its a medical application it does surgeries and measure the blood pressure
