(2) Fixed sequence manipulation mechanisms which are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions. The programme is mechanically limited by fixed stops, such as pins or cams. The sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are not variable or changeable by mechanical, electronic or electrical means;
(3) Mechanically controlled variable sequence manipulation mechanisms which are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions. The programme is mechanically limited by fixed, but adjustable stops, such as pins or cams. The sequence of motions and the selection of paths or angles are variable within the fixed programme pattern. Variations or modifications of the programme pattern (e.g. changes of pins or exchanges of cams) in one or more motion axes are accomplished only through mechanical operations;
(4) Non-servo-controlled variable sequence manipulation mechanisms which are automated moving devices, operating according to mechanically fixed programmed motions. The programme is variable but the sequence proceeds only by the binary signal from mechanically fixed electrical binary devices or adjustable stops;
(5) Stacker cranes defined as Cartesian coordinate manipulator systems manufactured as an integral part of a vertical array of storage bins and designed to access the contents of those bins for storage or retrieval.
(b) "End-effectors" include grippers, "active tooling units" and any other tooling that is attached to the baseplate on the end of the "robot's" manipulator arm(s)
NB:
An "active tooling unit" is a device for applying motive power, process energy or sensing to the workpiece.
(c) For the purposes of this Item, a "sensor" is defined as a detector of a physical phenomenon, the output of which (after conversion into a signal that can be interpreted by a controller) is able to generate "programmes" or modify programmed instructions or numerical programme data. This includes "sensors" with machine vision, infrared imaging, acoustical imaging tactile feel, inertial position measuring, optical or acoustic ranging or force or torque measuring capabilities.

See Item JL1565 or 1566 for computer related terms.

"Software" and technology for "automatically controlled industrial systems", as follows, to produce assemblies or discrete parts----
(a) "Software" with all the following characteristics:
(1) Specially designed for "automatically controlled industrial systems" which include at least eight pieces of the equipment enumerated in Technical Note (b)(1) to (9) below;
Notes:
1.
The "digital computers" of the "automatically controlled industrial system" do not share a common "main storage" but exchange information by transmitting messages through a "local area network".
2. This sub-item does not release "software" in source code.
(2) Integrating, in a hierarchical manner, while having access to data which may be stored outside the supervisory "digital computer", the manufacturing processes with:
(i) Design functions; or
(ii) Planning and scheduling functions; and
