Basics of Automation

Which robot is ideal for high-speed pick-and-place operations on an assembly line?

• SCARA

• Articulated 6-axis

• Cartesian

• Cylindrical

Which robot type is best suited for spot welding in automotive industries?

• Delta

• Articulated 6-axis

• Cartesian

• SCARA

A Cartesian robot is also known as:

• SCARA robot

• Cylindrical robot

• Articulated robot

• Gantry robot

Delta robots are mostly used for:

• Heavy payload material handling

• Welding and assembly

• High-speed light object sorting

• Painting applications

Articulated robots are suitable for:

• Complex welding paths

• High-speed packaging of light items

• Linear material handling

• Only pick-and-place tasks

Which robot type has a rectangular work envelope?

• Cartesian

• Cylindrical

• SCARA

• Articulated

Delta robots are mostly used in:

• High-speed packaging of food items

• Automobile welding

• CNC machining

• Heavy material handling

In ladder logic, a normally open (NO) contact closes when:

• Input signal is ON

• Timer is running

• Input signal is OFF

• Output is active

Ladder rungs consist of:

• Only inputs

• Only outputs

• Inputs and outputs in series or parallel

• Timers only

Path planning in robotics refers to:

• Controlling sensor feedback

• Determining a collision-free movement path

• Counting objects on the line

• Programming the PLC
