[547] Sensor Synchronization
Sensor Synchronization adjusts the robot speed to an external moving device (e.g. a
press or conveyor) with the help of a sensor. This option simplifies programming and
improves productivity of any loading /unloading application since it provides
automatic sensor status check and speed adjustment.
The robot TCP speed will be adjusted in correlation to the sensor output so that the
robot will reach the programmed robtargets at the same time as the external device
reaches their programmed positions. The synchronization is started/stopped with a new
instruction, SyncToSensor, combined with movement instructions (fine points or
corner zones).
Note that hardware components for measuring the sensor output are needed for this
function. The same hardware as for Conveyor Tracking is used: encoder and canbus
boards. Please refer to the Product Specification for your robot.
Features
• Up to 4 sensors/robot.
• “On-the-fly” activation.
• Valid for any type of movement.
• RAPID access to sensor and queue data.
• Object queue: the same functionality as conveyor tracking.
Applications
Press synchronization
“Side robot”or “Top_Robot “ (1 plane work robot NOFAC), paint application
Performance
The TCP will stay within ±50ms delay of the teached sensor position with linear sensor
and constant sensor speed.
Rapid instructions included in this option
SyncToSensor Start/stop synchronization
WaitSensor Connect to an object in the start window
DropSensor Disconnect from current object
