Preface

Training your staff is the key to your success A profound training of your staff is the key to your success. Training your staff means to give them the necessary information to be able to control the system and understand the applied technology. General knowledge as well as detailed knowledge about the system is as important as the practical knowledge of the applied programming. This is the aim of our training concept. Our training is a successful mix of well explained theory and practical applications. To guarantee a successful training, we use detailed training documents, state-of-the-art training methods and means in our training center in Neuhausen. More than two thirds of the course are reserved for training on the machine. Your staff collects practical knowledge of the robot and the appropriate application programs. A qualified training means for you: Maximum utilization ... of the system and optimum cycle times through professional programming. Long service life ... and insignificant wear because of qualified maintenance. Minimum downtime ... because of fast fault removal and program corrections as well as repair measures according to good professional practive. Less operator errors ... because of extensive knowledge. Optimum robot integration ... in the work cell because of profound knowledge of the interfaces. Motivated staff ... understanding what you do brings fun! Desired Flexibility ... understanding the robot and system functions allows fast and flexible adaptions to your special needs. We offer you a diverse training and course program for your staff from novice to expert, according to the training level, and treating the diverse application programs. These courses allow you make full use of your FANUC robot. In addition to our standard courses, we offer individual training courses on demand. In these courses, we can treat special uses, systems, and functions. Furthermore, we offer on-site courses on agreement.

67

Parts 9. Other options to create a simulator program You can insert and remove parts by means of the pick-and-drop programs at any time. In order to do so, you have to create the following simulator programs. If you create and call this program, the part on the conveyor belt will be positioned.

If you create and call this program, the part on the table will be removed from the layout.


68

Machines General If you create a machine, you can make components movable. Examples: The door of a machine is to be opened and closed. A conveyor belt is to move. A press is to be opened and closed. Etc. There are two methods to open and close a door: Using a digital output (DO) Using a servo motor

Movements must comply with the following rule: Rotational and linear movements have to be executed around or in z direction respectively.


69

Machines 1. Create a machine (actuated via DO) In this example, you have to create a machine in the form of a simplified conveyor belt. The movement is to be actuated via a digital output. Remove the existing conveyor belt from your simulator work cell (properties). Add a box with the following dimensions (1) and place the box in front of the robot. Rename the box. The new name should be Grundelement (2).

Replace the robot in an existing work cell 1

Open the robot properties and click on the button (1). Select the desired robot type in the wizard. Click on the Aktiviere button. The new robot type is read in. All data, except for the TP programs are restored. However, you can copy (2) and paste (3) the TP programs. After the copy-and-paste procedure, you can load the programs on the teach pendant. The programs do not have to be re-taught.

Add a second robot You can add a second robot to an existing layout. The number of robots that may be added is limitless. Use the wizard to configure the second robot.

Teaching is possible for both robots. Make sure on the teach pendant display (2) that the correct robot is activated. If the wrong robot is activated, keep the teach pendant activated and click on the desired robot. 2

Generate a path (Automatic program generation) 1

General Use the graphics function (1) to generate a path (program) automatically. You can use the graphics function only in connection with parts. You can choose between the following options: Edge line (2) Freehand line (3) Surface fit line (projection on surface) (4) Curve (5) 3

Generate a path (Automatic program generation) Procedure for path generation related to an edge

Select the part (single mouse click). Open the graphics icon menu. Click on the edge line symbol (Kantenlinie). Move the mouse cursor along the edge. The distance is displayed e.g. 78.1 mm). Use a double-click to complete the selection of the desired section. The window (1) is displayed. Name the program (2). Check the settings (3). Click on the button (4). You have created a program with an approach and a return position. A feature and a segment have been created in the cell browser (5). Segments may be segmented.

You can modify the approach and return position when opening the Näherung/Rückzug tab (1). When you do not wish to use an approach or return position, you can disable these functions.

After such modifications, you have to regenerate the program. The old version will be overwritten (3).

Target points 1

Use the target points (1) to specify positions. You can choose between the following options: Define positions in space (2). Define positions on a surface (3). Define positions at the TCP (4). When you select button (2) together with button (5), the points in space are stored in a target group. You can also specify a target group separately at a later point.

Define target points as points in space Click on the Air button and specify points in space using the mouse. The target points are displayed as a coordinate system. The targets are also displayed in the cell browser. In order to create a program from these targets, you have to define a target group. For explanations, see next page.

Target points Define target points on a surface and assign a positioner General This method is used to assign target points to a positioner (e.g. a box). When shifting the box, the target points are also shifted. Of course, you can define targets on surfaces without defining interactions.

1. Procedure Use the Surface button to generate 3 points on the surface of a box. Open the properties of each target point and select the box under Attached (1). The target points are displayed in the cell browser under the box (2).

From here on, the procedure is identical with the procedure for defining points in space.

Create a dynamic tool

General To create and simulate a dynamic tool, you need two different models.

Procedure Create a new work cell. Import the 36005f-200.CSB model as the tool (known procedure). Select the Simulation tab and add the 36005f-200-4.CSB model using the icon (1). Use the Öffnen/Schließen buttons (2) to check whether the gripper opens and/or closes. You can also use the symbol for this check. The opening and closing is realized in a program sequence by means of the Pick or Drop simulator programs (see Parts). Note The parts that are to be moved have to be defined on the Teile and Simulation tabs (3).
