Normally, the company would have used CNC
controls to monitor the system's valve-seat embedding station, because of the
amount of data that has to be quickly processed if the operation is to be
performed successfully.
To choose the right system for an application, engineers must consider each component of the system, including the slide block, raceway, bearings, guide rails, ballscrew, nut and housing.
It's one of the great contradictions in
assembly. On the one hand, industrial robots are expected to be fast and
powerful. On the other, they need to be incredibly precise and delicate-kind of
like expecting Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator character to do needlepoint
between gun battles.
Each of the major parts in the new motor has
a 2D bar code that can be read in seconds by a handheld scanner, greatly
reducing inspection time at the track. These marks must be positioned in
specific, often difficult-to-mark locations so that officials can easily check
the parts either before of after a race to prevent
cheating.
