Robot controllers - Import export

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...

Operational availability of the robot installation for production is increased by using an off-line system for generating robot programs. While saving time, programs may be prepared more conveniently in an office environment and simulation test runs (accessibility, computation of cycle time) may be performed. Collisions of the robot with the workpiece or fixtures may be detected at an early stage. Offline programming - Online working Simple robot programming is available through the self developed PC-based off-line programming system, using the original software of the robot control system and the teach pendant K6. Offline programming involves work piece oriented programming in 3D mode using a PC and simulation software. The workpiece is first imported into the programming system as 3D-CAD geometry, then the movements of the robot are determined. For path generation and definition of the processing parameters, a number of automatic functions as well as data bases stored in the...

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,...

Robonet: Network operation and remote access ISDES embedded: Weld seam and operating data acquisition system Smartstep: Generating robot programs iPAT: manipulation and the assembling of robot programs i4i: Visualisation of system status Robonet igm software for network operation and remote access from an arbitrary PC to the robot control Transfer of data to one or more machines Remote monitoring of welding and operating data Teach pendant display can be viewed on your notebook or PC ISDES embedded ISDES EMBEDDED is a weld seam and operating data acquisition system for monitoring, documentation and quality assurance of welding processes, as well as for the evaluation of operating data at partially, or fully automated welding robot systems. The ISDES integrated on the control system offers the possibility to record, monitor and evaluate the parameters decisive for the quality as well as the operationally relevant data. isdes embedded functions directly integrated into the...

Welding and cutting processes Depending on material and sheet thickness following processes are used: GMAW - Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG/MAG) GTAW - Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG), Cold & Hot Wire PAW - Plasma arc welding or cutting FSW - Friction Stir Welding Laser-Hybrid Welding RSW – Resistance Spot Welding igm robots may be used for all non-contact welding and cutting processes. Power sources from many well-known manufacturers can be integrated with our robot systems for welding and cutting applications. Products range from digital inverter power sources for MIG/MAG welding, TIG applications, plasma cutting and welding apparatus to high-capacity devices for the tandem process. Brushing, Grinding and Handling - Manipulation using Robots Through the possibilities afforded by a modular configuration of robot cells and the integration of diverse tools in the robot control sequence, significantly better throughput times and constant process qualities can be achieved. As a...
