Control components - Import export

The igm compact systems are optimized for arc welding applications in all mechanical aspects as well as the control hardware and software. In this combination of work piece and robot peripherals, the entire system is kept compact, since the robot changes workstations simply by pivoting the rotary arm or - in other configurations - the work station cahnes is performed by a rotary table. The drive is axis-controlled and provided by an AC servo motor with a special gear box and a built-in digital encoder. The turning fixture is perfect for use as an external robot axis. Work piece movement is completely integrated in the robot control system and permits synchronized movement of the work piece during the welding sequence. The programming takes place simple via the teach pendant K6. All necessary control components for manual and automatic operation are integrated in the system. Examples for igm compact systems and complete welding cells igm compact systems, type RSX 501, 502, 1001,...

Concept of RCE control system The control system is a fully digital controlled system. This means there are only digital signal processors (DSP) involved in the entire control system and not any analogue electronic component. All the components of the control system (such as control cabinet, welding power source, each axis and the teach pendant) are linked by a digital bus system. A full digital robot control system brings the following advantages: No influence by any environmental disturbance like inductive fields of welding cables Quickest response time by fastest bus connection > smooth motion of robot Absolute reproducibility of welding result > highest consistency in welding quality Easy diagnosis possibilities of the entire robot control system > less skills and no special instruments for diagnosis are necessary By using modular drive technology and standard PC components a high reliability is guaranteed and the ability to remain constantly at the cutting edge of...
