Abstract:
A three dimensional robotic scribing apparatus comprising:a driver computer control having an angle position driver;a personal computer having a keyboard input and coupled to said driver computer control for introducing programming instructions to said driver computer control;a three-dimensional coordinator circuit connected to said driver computer control and responsive to programming instructions to generate X, Y and Z drive signals;a scribe positionable about a work surface, said angle position driver being connected between said driver computer control and said scribe;an electro-mechanical device connected between said three-dimensional coordinator circuit and said scribe in parallel relationship with respect to said angle position driver with said scribe responsive to follow said programming instructions regarding X, Y, and Z drive signals for directional control with respect to said work surface, whereinsaid electro-mechanical device is a solenoid operated reciprocating piston within a housing;a trigger and servo network connected between said angle position driver and said scribe for angularly positioning said scribe with respect to said work surface; anda program input connected to said personal computer in addition to said keyboard for introducing said X, Y, and Z drive signals as programming data therein for application to said three-dimensional coordinator circuit via said driver computer control.
