BRAYLLE SCREEN FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED
Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2012, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
The graphical interfaces based on visual representation and direct manipulation of objects made the adequate use of computers quite difficult for people with reduced sight. The main scientific aim here is: a concept for development, design and manufacture prototype of combined tactile-voice interface facilitating and allowing visually impaired people work with computers regardless of the user interface or operation system and oriented to graphical surfaces. Static force characteristics of recently developed permanent magnet linear actuator for driving a needle in Braille screen are presented.

A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE ROTATIONAL MOLDING PROCESS
The rotational molding is a manufacturing method that allows obtaining parts with hollow form by rotating a mold around two perpendicular axes with the part material in the liquid state. Although the manufacturing meth...
OPTIMAL SERVOMOTOR SELECTION ALGORITHM FOR INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS AND MACHINE TOOLS NC AXIS
This paper presents a complete calculus algorithm for selecting the optimal servomotors of the kinematic chains included in the numerically controlled axes (NCA) of machine tools (NCMT) and industrial robots (IR). The al...
Task-oriented off-line parametric programming of an industrial robot serving CNC lathes
Industrial robotic arms are often employed in machine tool tending. If the scope of programming is restricted to a specific machine tool type, the tasks involved become standard to a large extent. Therefore, the correspo...
Dynamic simulation of industrial robots behaviour using integrated software procedures
The paper presents a research regarding the dynamic behavior of an industrial robot during operation. The main target of the attempt was to primarily test a set of software applications in a combination used in the autom...
