R17 Robot Arm

R17 (Deucaleon): Low cost bench-top 750mm 5-axis general purpose articulated robot arm

R17 is a low cost entry to robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program. It has a long reach and therefore a larger and much more useful workspace than comparable machines. The mechanics are simple and phenomenally reliable, there being R17 Mk1s out there which have been running 3 shifts a day for ten years without failure, in fact we give a 2 year warranty. The R17 is a complete self-contained five axis vertically articulated robot arm system designed as a cost effective solution for processes requiring long reach or difficult access. Applications include product testing, sample handling, parts handling, machine feeding, welding, spraying, sound measurement and many more. It is easy to apply and program yet is capable of the most intricate tasks.

R17 is supplied ready to run -- robot, controller, all cables, ROBWIN Windows project management software, on-screen manuals.

Controller

MOTION CONTROL

The new multi-processor ST controller, K11R Mk5 provides all the power and intelligence to control a robot arm using a hierarchical architecture of CPU (central processing unit), DSP (digital signal processor) down to individual axis processors. The controller has a built-in programming language called Roboforth and is easily programmed using a PC connected via a serial cable or USB. A simple teach pad is provided for fine positioning but the majority of functions are invoked from the computer. There is no need for a separate PLC. The controller can also be commanded from a supervisory computer as part of a larger system.

INPUT-OUTPUT

The K11R5 can also connect to, interface with and control all kinds of equipment such as pneumatics, feeders, plate stacks, conveyors, molding machines and synchronize all activities with the robot. There is an easily used input output register which can be expanded with a range of plug-in cards for analog or digital interfaces, serial, opto-isolated buffers and so on. This means you can easily arrange interlocks or control devices or take measurements while the robot is in motion. And you can add and control additional stepping motor devices such as indexing carousels, accurate bi-directional conveyers. Some clients use a K11 controller without a robot to control complex equipment and program it quickly and easily using Roboforth. You can also use it to control any machine with up to 6 stepping motors, with or without encoders. Additionally the controller has timers, interrupts and timer interrupts all programmable with the ease of Roboforth.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The controller uses a fast pipelined CPU communicating with a DSP which in turn controls motion via intelligent drive modules, thus freeing the CPU for overall program control and I/O. High voltage MOS micro-stepping drives control the robot motors accurately and without resonance yet pack power and high speeds when required. Robot feedback comprises encoders which connect back to the DSP. The CPU compares these counts with the software counts and makes corrections or halts motion as necessary. For example in the event of a stall robot motion is aborted and an error is announced (which is safer than most robot systems). Both the programming system and user's software are stored in flash EPROM but run in fast static RAM. A computer is needed to program the controller which can be removed after programming is complete. Connection is via serial RS232 or USB (option). During programming data and procedure are saved both to disk and to controller Flash ROM. Once programmed the controller will run on its own without a computer.

The R12-500 is a complete self-contained five axis vertically articulated robot arm system designed as a cost effective solution for bench top automation. Applications include testing, sample handling, machine feeding.
The hand terminates in a mounting plate for grippers, vacuum cups etc.
R12-500 is a very low cost entry to robotics, fast, accurate and reliable and easy to program. It has a useful 500mm reach. The mechanics are simple and phenomenally reliable, in fact we give a 2 year warranty. It is easy to apply and program yet is capable of the most intricate tasks. It is a technological breakthrough in bench top robotics. Like the R17 it is a 5 axis articulated robot arm but smaller, lighter, faster and above all lower cost. To further save cost encoders are an option (see below). The precise micro-stepping drives eliminate altogether any possibility of motor error in normal use.

MTBF: 10,000 hours

Encoder Watchdog Option level 1
The role of the encoders in the R17 and as an R12 level 1 option is as watchdogs. The R12 will run accurately and indefinitely without error thanks to micro-stepping drives and accurate transmission. Without the encoders if the robot suffers a collision then the controller does not know and carries on with the program even though the robot could be out of position. Such collisions usually only occur during programming and rarely during normal running. The watchdog option is an option if extra integrity is required.
If the encoder option is not fitted ST provides a software solution in the form of a quick calibration check that can be included in every robot cycle or n cycles. Upon recalibration, if there is an error it is reported and the system stops.

Encoder Read-back option level 2
High resolution encoders fitted to each axis act not only as watchdogs but may also be used to read back the position of the robot when de-energized. The robot can be positioned by hand and its position updated on pressing a key on the keypad. The kinematics software then computes the exact X-Y-Z position of the robot with the hand pitch and roll in degrees.
