Stand-alone A multi-pallet system that can work on several types of parts at the same
time but is independent of other systems. This type of system can be
integrated into an FMS.
Absolute Encoder An optical encoder that gives an exact position even in the event of a
power failure.
Accuracy The degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to the actual (or
accepted) value.
Debug The process of detecting and eliminating a device's malfunctions.
Handshaking a form of communication where a signal is sent from a device to another
similar or dissimilar device(s).
End Effector A tool or gripper attached to the end of a robotic arm.
Home A reference point from which all of the robot's movements are measured.

Incremental Encoder An optical encoder that gives incremental position from a known position.
Input The data supplied to the computer for processing.
Joint A single degree of arm rotation or translation.
Kinematics The spatial arrangement of the axes of movement in relation to one
another.
Loop The repeated execution of a series of instructions for a variable number of
times.
Microcontroller A microprocessor used for precise process control in data handling,
communication, or manufacturing.
