" Take-out robot simulator" has been developed as application software
for take-out robots.

Yushin Precision Equipment Co., Ltd.

 

Yushin has newly developed application software of "Take-out robot simulator" which allows its operators to confirm motions of the take-out robot before actual operation. This software is expected to improve efficiency and safety of work at production plants. Yushin is to receive an order of this application software from July 2004. Yushin is the dedicated supplier of take-out robots for injection molding machines, carrying the motto "Heartful Technology" (President Mayumi Kotani, headquarters in Kyoto City, capital of 1.98566 billion yen).

There are two ways of adopting "Take-out robot simulator". One way is to choose this software as an option for "E-touch Web controller". Another way is to use software for Windows "Flexible teaching" which includes this simulator as a part of its functions.

Users of take-out robots can change motion programs or even add a new motion on their robots through motion-programming software such as "Flexible teaching" and "Lead through teaching" which is standard specification of "E-touch Web controller". Then they can visually simulate such changed motions on a screen of the controller or PC with "Take-out robot simulator", before operating their robots for confirmation in actual.

When take-out robot is consigned, basic motions are normally programmed as standard specification. But there is always necessity to adjust robot, by adding or changing motions, especially at the productive plants where a small amount of various products are produced. Although users can change motion programs of the robot through robot controller or PC on their own, they needed to operate the robots repeatedly in order to confirm the changed motions up to the present.

 
<2 main features on this software>
 
(1). Since motions of robots can be confirmed on screen of controller or PC, it achieves not only improved efficiency and greater safety but also time shortening in programming and mold change.
 
(2). Motions can be confirmed without operating a take-out robot in actual so that even unskilled operators can perform teaching (*) at ease.
 
<The functional features about the software>
 
1. 3-dimensional screen display
A take-out robot on an injection-molding machine is 3-dimensionally displayed on a screen so that users can visually confirm whether the created program is performing expected motions. v
 
2. Real time monitor of input/output signal
An on-off setup of the input/output signals about various operations of a take-out robot can be performed. In addition, it is also possible to confirm which signal is under operation from the 3-densional screen at real time.
 
3. Real time display of various numbers
A numerical setup such as position, speed, and timer etc. of the robot can be performed. Moreover, according to 3-dimensional operation, the numbers are displayed at real time.
 
4. An operation setup of the molding machine on a screen
An on-off setup of the signal about various operations of a molding machine displayed on a 3-dimensional screen can be performed.
 
We prepare the school for technical acquisition of how to program robot's motions with "Flexible teaching"(charge).
 
(*) Teaching: Fine adjustment of operation, such as tuning a position of product extraction and a stop position as well as adjusting rate of strokes.
