    摘要: An auxiliary resolver position tracking (RPT) system for an industrial robot includes a resolver excitation and monitoring system which is powered by an uninterruptable power supply which includes a battery. The RPT system generates trapezoidal excitation pulses for the resolvers in the robot when no external excitation signal is applied, for example when the robot is shut down. Since there is relatively little motion to be detected in these instances, the RPT system switches between a slow position sampling rate, when no motion is detected, and a fast sampling rate when motion is detected. When operating on battery power, the RPT only switches to the fast sampling rate when motion is detected. To ensure that no motion data is lost when the system switches back to the slow sampling rate, the high sampling rate is maintained for a time sufficient to capture any residual motion of the robot. In addition, the RPT includes circuitry to detect when the external excitation signal is absent, to detect when individual invalid position samples may be taken and to distinguish between valid motion and a jitter condition in which the sensed resolver position oscillates between two quadrants.

    摘要: A high power density field wireable connector wherein both the wire insertion and the screw tightening mechanism for retaining an inserted wire in the connector are front accessible and negate the requirement to remove the module as in the prior art. The wiring is located toward the interior of the connector rather than the exterior so that the screws are more accessible. The connector housing includes a mechanism for captivating the mounting screws and a two position locator so that various modules already located in the field can use the same connector. Fingers on the circuit board make contact with contact fingers within the connector. Both the fingers on the circuit board and the contact fingers within the connector are preferably plated with gold. A normal spring force on the fingers within the connector is provided by the cantilever action of interior walls of the connector housing with the contact fingers disposed within the housing. The housing is designed with specific dimensions and tolerances both are compatible with both DIN 41612 and VME standards.

    摘要: An X-ray diffractometer having a simple yet accurate means for locating the surface of the sample to be examined with respect to the zero point of the X-ray (RS) is disclosed. Briefly stated, a laser (LA) and camera (KA) are positioned at preferably 90.degree. with respect to each other such that the intersection of the optical axis of the camera and the laser passes through the zero point of the diffractometer. In this fashion, the camera will see at its center, the zero point of the X-ray despite the fact that the X-ray is of course invisible to the naked eye. Accordingly, by movement of the sample (P) with respect to this camera image, the true and correct zero point of the X-ray with respect to the surface of the sample to be examined may be determined without the need for experimental and unnecessary X-ray or examination runs being taken.
