At Motek, Yaskawa will be presenting 'Motoman' robots from the MH series such as the 'Motoman MH12' and the 'MH24', which are controlled via the 'DX200' controller generation. The 6-axis robots are particularly suitable for handling or machine loading. The company will also be showing Motoman robots in action - for example the 4-axis 'Motoman MPP3S' high-speed robot in a cell. The parallel kinematics combines the speed of the Delta design with a maximum payload of 3 kg and a large working range. In another live demo cell, the dual-arm robot 'CSDA10F', designed for laboratory automation with a human-like stature and two hands, performs complex sample preparations and operates manual analysis devices. A third demo cell illustrates the possibilities of the 'MotomanSync' interface: a 'Motoman MH5F' handling robot is connected to a controller from Yaskawa subsidiary Vipa via a MotomanSync. The robot can thus be programmed directly in the controller, while operation is carried out via the PLC control panel. The robot job is stored directly in the PC or PLC, from where the movement commands are sent to the robot in real time. The protocol developed by Yaskawa supports PLCs from various manufacturers as well as PC-based controllers.
