Robot Series for Processing Large Parts
November 1, 2014
The new high-speed MH50 II-series robots are designed to be flexible for use in a variety of applications, including coating, dispensing, machine and press tending, material cutting and handling. "The long reach of the MH50 II model and the extended reaches of the MH50 II-35 and MH50 II-20 are features designed for processing large parts. In many cell layouts, the extended reach models can eliminate the need for an external track, decreasing system cost and simplifying programming. Internally routed cables and hoses maximize system reliability, reduce interference and facilitate programming," said a company spokesperson.
According to the company, wide work envelopes with small interference zones allow the MH50 II-series robots to be placed in close proximity to workpieces and equipment, reducing floorspace requirements. The robots have brakes on all axes and can be floor-, wall- or ceiling-mounted for layout flexibility.
The new models use the dynamic DX200 controller that includes multiple robot control technology to handle multiple tasks and control up to eight robots (72 axes), I/O devices and communication protocols. The DX200 uses a Windows CE programming pendant with color touch screen.
According to the company, the DX200 controller features faster processing speeds for smoother interpolation, advanced robot arm motion, built-in collision avoidance, quicker I/O response and accelerated Ethernet communication. Its I/O suite includes integral PLC and HMI pendant displays, 4,096 I/O and a graphical ladder editor that can provide system level control. The DX200 supports all major fieldbus networks. It is compliant to ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 and other relevant ISO and CSA safety standards.
