Yaskawa at the Motek
Stay safely on track
In addition to the new Motomini small robot, the expanded GP robot series and Easy Teaching for collaborative operation, Yaskawa will also be focusing on a high-precision path control function at Motek.
Particularly in robot-based applications such as seam sealing, foaming, laser or waterjet cutting, a high degree of path fidelity is crucial for the result. A demo cell with a Motoman GP25 handling robot now demonstrates a solution in which the programmed and actual paths are always almost identical despite the high process speed. The new Motoman YRC1000 high-performance controller provides the basis for this. This significantly reduces the time required for programming and optimizing the path.
Easy teaching for collaborative operation
With the Motoman HC10DT collaborative robot (DT stands for "Direct Teach"), programming can optionally be carried out via the robot arm. This Easy Teaching is made possible by additional function buttons near the flange.
In addition, Yaskawa introduces the next generation programmer with the new Smart Pendant. The main menu makes it easy to switch back and forth between screens as they are listed in a specific, easy-to-follow order. The Smart Pendant provides convenient access to all functions. The user has a perfect overview of all entries in the navigation menu and can easily find their way back to the main menu in the event of a problem. The Smart Pendant follows the operating structure of a smartphone and is available for all handling robots with the YRC1000 and YRC1000micro control units.
Drive and control technology
Yaskawa also guarantees positioning accuracy with the drives of the current Sigma-7 servo system. With the latest expansion, the Sigma-7 portfolio includes amplifiers and motors for 200 volts and 400 volts in the power class between 50 watts and 15 kilowatts. Direct drives with high-resolution encoders (either absolute or incremental) in the torque range from 1.3 to 240 Newton meters are also available. The servo system also offers extended safety functions and meets the requirements of EN IEC 61508 SIL 3 and PL-e.
Last but not least, Yaskawa will also be represented at Motek at the "Fachforum Sicherheit + Automation 2018" (in Hall 8, Stand 8340): On Monday, October 8, at 1:30 p.m., HRC expert Thomas Suchanek (Manager Robot Safety and Technical Documentation, Robotics Division at Yaskawa) will provide information on "Safe HRC - Application with 'Functional Safety Unit' (FSU)". as
