Simplified Robot Programming

Smart Pendant is designed to provide simplified programming and fast implementation. "Its easy-to-understand, tablet-based interface offers a simple learning curve compared to the standard pendant and is suitable for novice robot programmers," said a Yaskawa Motoman spokesperson.

Smart Pendant readily adapts to the user's style for easy operation. Its patented, built-in Smart Frame technology determines the user's orientation relative to the robot. This eliminates the use of conventional coordinate (X, Y, Z) frames and utilizes human coordinate references for easy command of robot movement.

Smart Pendant features automatic programming feedback, which can reduce programmer errors, and its quick error recovery can reduce costly downtime. The Smart Pendant interface is designed to display relevant information during playback, allowing users to easily monitor variables, positions and I/O during runtime.

Features include:

• Descriptive commands that alleviate the need to memorize abbreviations
• A favorites bar to capture commonly used commands for easy access
• Touch-to-edit functionality for job editing
• Uniquely designed Command Builder that guides the user to insert commands
• A detailed, built-in help and how-to instructions that eliminate the need for hard copy manuals.

Capable of delivering quick robotic implementation for a variety of handling applications, Smart Pendant is available for use with select Yaskawa Motoman YRC-controlled robots.

Smart Pendant includes Yaskawa Soft Pendant software, a digital version of the YRC1000 pendant that can be run on a Windows operating system.
