"Coordinates for the CNC Lathe" provides an overview of the coordinates used to program cutting operations on CNC lathes or turning centers. It introduces the systems of both Cartesian and polar ...

Robot Axes and Pathways provides an overview of the ways industrial robots move. The axes of the Cartesian coordinate system are used to describe robot movement. Robots may travel along linear axes or ...

Non-Cartesian actuators are improving applications where they weren't even feasible before. Full definition of their dynamics and kinematics helps designers extract maximum performance from these ...

Articulate has two meanings — formulated with clarity and effectiveness — or a design with segments and sockets. Articulating robots are both — jointed arms used to precisely express motion tasks by ...

Conventional machine tools will have stiff competition at EMO 2001 as several new parallel kinematic machines make their debuts. A new type of tripod PKM, Heckert's SKM 400 has a special couling ...

A Matlab histogram shows a distribution of data grouped into regular intervals called bins. Matlab has predefined functions for creating histograms in Cartesian or polar coordinate systems. After ...
