00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.270
The Robot arm process.

2
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:10.090
The purpose of the Robot  arm is to perform assembly tasks in a production environment.

3
00:00:12.260 --> 00:00:16.280
The Robot arm process consists of seven functions.

4
00:00:18.020 --> 00:00:22.140
Function one: Y-Axis Reset

5
00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:27.140
Large motor C rotates the arm clockwise to raise the arm until Color sensor A

6
00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:34.060
in reflected light intensity mode measures an intensity above 25%

7
00:00:34.210 --> 00:00:40.000
Function two: X-Axis Reset

8
00:00:40.010 --> 00:00:45.010
Large motor B rotates the arm until Touch sensor A’s button is pressed.

9
00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:49.250
The arm rotates a fixed number of degrees to starting position.

10
00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:54.080
Function three: Reset gripper

11
00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:59.290
Medium motor A resets the rotation sensor and opens the gripper.

12
00:01:00.210 --> 00:01:03.020
Function four: Pick-up

13
00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:11.060
Large motor C lowers the arm and Medium motor A closes the gripper to pick up the engine block from the conveyor belt.

14
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:16.000
Once the engine is firmly grabbed, the arm is lifted again.

15
00:01:16.250 --> 00:01:20.210
Function five: Rotate to drop-off

16
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:28.250
Large motor B rotates the arm towards the car positioning the engine block above the engine compartment.

17
00:01:29.190 --> 00:01:31.180
Function six: Drop-off

18
00:01:31.190 --> 00:01:38.170
Large motor C lowers the arm so that Medium motor A can release the engine block into the cars engine compartment.

19
00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:43.000
When the engine block is placed the arm is raised again.

20
00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:47.070
Function seven: Rotate to pick-up

21
00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:55.260
Large motor B rotates the arm to starting position. The robot arm is now ready to pick up the next engine block.

22
00:01:55.270 --> 00:02:00.090
The robot arm resets for every 10 engine blocks.
