n Communications

The cooperation control function can control up to 4 robots in an interlocked manner through HiNet (Exclusive Ethernet).

 

n Easy setting of the common coordinate between robots

This function is to locate the relative positions between robots. The setting of the common coordinate between robots is to be acquired through the teaching of 3 identical points on the work range.

 

n Manual mode cooperation

The user can perform teaching in the manual mode easily. After individual robots are set for the master and slave roles, the teaching will be made possible only by operating the master in case of the application of handling, while, in case of jigless operation, the support should be provided in a way that the teaching of the position of the slave is performed on the work object of the master.

 

n Positioner master support

Cooperated control can be made possible by setting the positioner of the robot that is set as the master robot as a master. For a positioner, 4 robots can operate in a cooperative manner at the same time.

 

n Teaching

Each control unit requires its own independent program. In one program, the part for the robot to operate independently and the other part for it to operate cooperatively can be separated, allowing programming to take place easily and without restriction.

 

n Playback cooperation

According to the command (COWORK) for the cooperative operation, counterpart robots are made to stand by, and, when all the cooperative robots are already, the cooperative operation will start.

 

n HiNet I/O

This is to provide a function that allows the input and output of signals between robots to occur, without an additional control panel for the interlocking between roots, through the use of an exclusive Ethernet network developed for the cooperative control.
