Some CNC machines use "conversational" programming, which is a wizard-like programming mode that either hides G-code or completely bypasses the use of G-code. Some popular examples are Okuma's Advanced One Touch (AOT), Southwestern Industries' ProtoTRAK, Mazak's Mazatrol, Hurco's Ultimax and Winmax, Haas' Intuitive Programming System (IPS), and ...
A full view of a typical vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) used in a videocassette recorder. Before the advent of on-screen displays, the only interface available for programming a home video recorder was a small VFD, LED or LCD panel and a small number of buttons.
Bob Templin was the chief executive in charge of rotary-engine research at the GM Tech Center in Warren, Michigan, but Ed Cole would leave his office in Detroit twice a week for the trip to Warren, taking charge of the program. [2] The engine was initially targeted for an October 1973 introduction as a 1974 Chevrolet Vega option.
Rotary incremental encoder with shaft attached to its thru-bore opening Introduction to incremental encoders, from VideoWiki script Incremental Encoder An incremental encoder is a linear or rotary electromechanical device that has two output signals , A and B , which issue pulses when the device is moved. [ 1 ]
Canned cycles are so called because they allow a concise way to program a machine to produce a feature of a part. [2] A canned cycle is also known as a fixed cycle . A canned cycle is usually permanently stored as a pre-program in the machine's controller and cannot be altered by the user.
A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to analog or digital output signals. [1] There are two main types of rotary encoder: absolute and incremental. The output of an absolute encoder indicates the current shaft position, making it an angle ...
This robot features two parallel rotary joints to provide compliance in a plane. Articulated robot: Used for assembly operations, diecasting, fettling machines, gas welding, arc welding and spray-painting. It is a robot whose arm has at least three rotary joints. Parallel robot: One use is a mobile platform handling cockpit flight simulators ...
1909 500 kW Westinghouse rotary converter. A rotary converter is a type of electrical machine which acts as a mechanical rectifier, inverter or frequency converter.. Rotary converters were used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), or DC to AC power, before the advent of chemical or solid state power rectification and inverting.
