Modular design gives over 500 robot configurations
The BA series ROIbot uses a modular building block design, allowing single or dual axis configurations to be built from the same standard components.
Robots offer long arm and decent payload capacity
The SR-HZ series of Palletising Robots from TM Robotics, the exclusive European partner to Toshiba Machine, feature an impressive payload of 50 or 70 kg.
The Toshiba Machine stand features a Toshiba SR-654HSP-Z, with vision system, moving moulded parts.
After checking the quality of the parts, and classifying them as OK or NG (no good), the robot places them in a case or discards them accordingly.
The SR-654HSP-Z is part of the Toshiba SR-HSP series of SCARA robots.
With up to 5-axes capability the SR-HSP has achieved record-breaking traversing rates of 300mm in 0.63 seconds, carrying a 2kg payload.
The robot's reinforced arm can handle up to 10k with reduced acceleration, or 5k at full speed.
The compact robots are also extremely accurate, offering repeatability to within +/-0.02mm.
Utilising state-of-the-art technology, the SR-HSP series uses parallel processing to offer smooth, fast motion combined with an extremely sophisticated set of control instructions to suit all applications.
The speed of the robot system doesn't end with its physical movements.
The robot's SR7000 controller integrates easily with other industrial automation equipment and is capable of simultaneously processing input and output signals during robot motion.
Therefore, no time is wasted while signal processing is completed.
The controller uses absolute encoder feedback, rather than incremental signals, thereby obviating the need to implement a zero return on start up following a shut down.
The 32-bit controller is capable of controlling up to 5-axes simultaneously, with options for PTP, short cut, linear interpolation and circular interpolation motion modes.
With a total memory capacity of 6,400 points (12,800 steps), the controller also offers a multitask function, allowing a maximum of four tasks. Request a free brochure from TM Robotics (Europe) ...
