A cylindrical robot has a T-type wrist axis that can be rotated a total of
three rotations (each rotation is a full 360). It is desired to be able to
position the wrist with a control resolution of 0.5 between adjacent
addressable points. Determine the number of bits required in the binary
register for that axis in the robot's control memory
Answer
Solution: Range L = 3(360)
= 1080 Specification: CR =
0.5 or better, Find n
n ln(2) = ln(2161), 0.69315 n = 7.6783, n = 11.08 --> n = 12
