The brain of every robot/manipulator is its control unit, compact and powerful, designed to operate as a stand-alone system or integrated, usable as a simple positioner or a complete program for IAI, fully programmable for EPSON, TM and NACHI.
IAI control units
The operation of single-axis and multi-axis (up to 6) systems is orchestrated, according to the needs of the individual application, by two possible families of controllers:
The “CON” family
Basic controllers that communicate the desired position coordinate by recalling one of the stored positions in memory by an external management device (PLC)
The “SEL” family
Advance controller from the IAI family programmable using the simple SEL language: positions can be recalled and I/O can be activated autonomously in the sequence set within the controller or by interpolating movements on multiple axes without the need for a PLC. Easy even for beginners.
Controller EPSON
RC90
Compact and lightweight.
Small, intelligent and extremely efficient, equipped with an RS-232C serial interface, 24/16 standard I/O, 1 Ethernet port and integrated Modbus protocol as standard. It provide the flexibility to expand its capabilities with specific expansion boards for communication with various fieldbuses on the market, all at a reduced price.
RC700-A
One for all
Compact and powerful it manage different types of EPSON robots and controlling their movement.
It features an open and customizable architecture: it can communicate with all conventional fieldbuses, as well as peripherals such as sensors, conveyors, actuator without the need of a PLC.
TM control unit
Compact, comprehensive and intuitive the TM control Box features an LCD display that shows the robot’s status and any issues.
Equipped with standard I/O 16/16, RS-232, three Ethernet ports and the Modbus protocol for communication with external devices, it also has an HDMI port and USB ports for managing it like a PC (or remotely). Communication with conventional fieldbuses is also possible.
NACHI control unit
The operation of the robots is orchestrated according to the needs of the individual application by two possible families of controllers:
The CFD family
Compact, high-performance controller, and the smallest in its class in terms of size (369mm width x 490mm depth x 173mm height) to save valuable space. It controls the entire work cell and peripheral equipment using integrated standard PLC software. It supports the NACHI NV-Pro vision sensor, force feedback sensors and servo-assisted gripping mechanisms.
Offline programming support is provided through Nachi’s “FD on Desk Light”, capable of creating programs, cycle time analysis, PLC editing, program verification and more. It supports both the high-performance color touchscreen teach pendant and the compact teach pendant. Energy consumption is reduced for energy savings. It can store up to 9,999 programs and 2560000 program steps. It performs direct backup onto the USB drive to prevent data loss.
The FD family
A high-speed and high-capacity processing controller. The controller components are minimized to maximize maintainability and quick part replacement.
The functionality is exceptional with a full range of features and safety standards. The high-speed CPU brings significant improvements to cycle time, tracking operations and internal processing time performance. The compact and highly functional teach pendant is lightweight and ergonomic. The standard touch screen with HMI display makes operations simple and intuitive.
