Robot‑teach pendant is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en programmatie & aansturing productiemiddelen.
Definitie
Robot-teach pendant is een handheld programming device waarmee operators industriële robots kunnen programmeren door handmatige bewegingen te maken en posities te “onderwijzen” aan de robot. Het is de traditionele methode voor robot programmering waarbij de operator de robot fysiek door de gewenste bewegingen geleidt.
