3.0 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT

3.1 K-SERIES ROBOT DESCRIPTION


The standard ArcWorld 6200 uses two Motoman K-Series robot manipulators
operating in a master/slave configuration. The Motoman K6 and K10 robots and
YASNAC MRC controller represent state-of-the-art technology in robotics today.
The six-axis K6 robots have a payload of 6 kg (13.2 lbs). They feature a 1,322
mm (52.0 inch) reach and have a relative positioning accuracy of ± 0.1 mm (0.004
inch). The six-axis K10 robots have a payload of 10 kg (22 lbs). They feature a
1,555 mm (61.2 inch) reach and have a relative positioning accuracy of ± 0.1 mm
(0.004 inch).

Each robot can reach below its own base as well as behind itself. These robots can
also be mounted in floor, wall, or ceiling configurations with few hardware
modifications. The Motoman K-Series robots have been constructed for ease of
maintenance, utilizing brushless AC servo motors with absolute positioning
encoders. All motors are readily accessible. A combination of capacitance and
lithium batteries in both the robot encoder assemblies and in the MRC controller
protects program position data for up to one year. The replacement life for the
lithium battery is approximately three years.

3.2 MRC CONTROLLER


The MRC controller (see Figure 3-1) coordinates the operation of the ArcWorld
system. It provides the following control functions:
• User interface
• Main logic functions
• Input / output control
• Servo control
• Numeric processing
• Variable data memory
• Program and constant data memory
• Analog welding command functions
• Welding interface
• Power distribution
The MRC controls the movement of the manipulators, processes input and output
signals, controls the operation of the welding power supply, and provides the
signals to operate the welding system. It maintains variable data and performs the
numeric processing to convert to and from different coordinate systems.

3.3.3 Emergency Stop (E-Stop)


The E-Stop button on the pendant is connected to the E-Stop circuit. Interrupting
the E-Stop circuit causes the robot to go into the E-Stop condition, which
immediately turns off the servo power and removes power from the positioner
interface. This stops the positioner sweep. Pressing any one of the E-Stop buttons
also stops the movement of both robots and removes the electrical power from the
welding torch.

3.3.4 Keypad
The user keypad on the programming pendant serves as an input device. The keys
are grouped into different functional sections to simplify operator use. For more
information, refer to your MRC Operator's Manual for Arc Welding.

3.3.5 Servo Power


The SERVO POWER pushbutton switch turns on the robot servo power. An
indicator light in the switch turns on when servo power is on.

3.3.6 Coordinate System Indicators


The COORD indicator lights turn on to show the currently active coordinate
system.

3.4 MRM2-SERIES POSITIONER
The ArcWorld 6200 cell uses one of two different reciprocating positioners: the
MRM2-550 or the MRM2-1100. The MRM2-Series positioners are AC servo
controlled by the master robot to provide coordinated motion while welding or
between welds. The standard distance between the headstock and tailstock
faceplates on the MRM2-550 positioner is 2.6 meters (approximately 102 inches).
The standard distance between the headstock and tailstock faceplates on the
MRM2-1100 positioner is 3.0 meters (approximately 118 inches).
The load side of the positioner is fixed for loading and unloading parts. The
patented servo motor is used to sweep the positioner workstations into and out of
the robot envelope, and also to turn the weld side of the positioner during welding.
A fixture frame is typically mounted between the headstock and tailstock faceplates
to provide a highly flexible system. Fixtures are either mounted on or integrated to
these frames for positioning and clamping of production parts. Pneumatic and
electrical signals can be run to the fixtures if required. Depending on part size(s)
and weight(s) you can mount single, multiple, or a combination of parts to the
fixture frame.
The ArcWorld 6200 system is capable of synchronized motion where the
positioner holds the parts stationary and both robots move at the same time to do
the welding. The system is also capable of coordinated motion where the
positioner rotates the parts while the robots do the welding.

3.4.1 Part / Fixture Rating


The combined weight of the part(s) and fixture(s) on each side of the MRM2-550
reciprocating positioner is 550 pounds (1,100 pounds total). The maximum offset
load for the MRM2-550 is 375 pounds. The positioner will not sweep if the load
on one side is more than 375 pounds heavier than the load on the other side.
The combined weight of the part(s) and fixture(s) on each side of the MRM2-1100
reciprocating positioner is 1,100 pounds (2,200 pounds total). The maximum
offset load for the MRM2-1100 is 639 pounds. The positioner will not sweep if
the load on one side is more than 639 pounds heavier than the load on the other
side.

3.4.2 Swing Diameter


The maximum swing diameter for a part on the MRM2-550 positioner is 0.98
meters (approximately 37.4 inches). The maximum swing diameter for a part on
the MRM2-1100 positioner is 1.10 meters (approximately 43.3 inches).

3.4.3 Temperature Operating Range


The temperature operating range is 40 - 110˚ Fahrenheit.

3.4.4 Humidity

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 18 MOTOMAN


Non condensing 10 to 90 percent relative humidity is acceptable.

NOTE: In high humidity areas, the table tooling plate may rust or corrode. Surface protection should
be used.

3.4.5 Shock Rating


The positioner can accept shocks of less than 0.5 G.

3.4.6 Sweep Speed


Torque Time

MRM2-550 600 N.m 5.5 - 7.0 seconds

MRM2-1100 1,500 N.m 10 seconds

3.4.7 Servo Headstock Speed


Torque Speed

MRM2-550 550 N.m 0 - 13.0 rpm

MRM2-1100 785 N.m 0 - 13.4 rpm

3.4.8 Air Requirements


A minimum air supply of 80 PSIG is required to operate the positioner.

3.4.9 Electrical Requirements


The MRC controller supplies the electrical power required to operate the 180˚
reciprocating positioners. These requirements consists of a 24-VDC interface
circuit, and a 208-VAC, 6.2-amp circuit for the MRM2-550 motor and drive, or a
208-VAC, 9.0-amp circuit for the MRM2-1100 motor and drive.

3.4.10 Welding Current Rating


The MRM2 positioners have a welding current capacity of 600 amperes at 100%
duty cycle. The welding ground system consists of a spring loaded copper brush
that contacts a large ring mounted behind the surface of the faceplate. The ground
cable to the welding power source is connected to the ground stud located on the
right side of the positioner base when facing the back of the ArcWorld 6200 cell.

3.4.11 Locking Pins


The MRM2 positioners are equipped with fixture locking pins that prevent the
headstock/tailstock face plates from turning when the servo motor retracts. The

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 19 MOTOMAN


fixture locking pins are spring loaded, so when the servo motor withdraws, the pins
engage. Each headstock faceplate on the MRM2-550 positioner has one locking
pin. Each headstock faceplate on the MRM2-1100 positioner has two locking pins.
The MRM2-1100 positioner is also equipped with a pair of sweep lock drive pins
that prevent the sweep axis from turning during the welding and loading cycles.
One sweep lock drive pin is located on the headstock drive base and the other is
located on the tailstock drive base.

3.4.12 Arc Shield


The MRM2 positioners are provided with a sheet metal screen for arc radiation
protection between the operator loading zone and the welding zone. Do not operate
this equipment unless the arc shield is in place.

3.5 OPERATOR STATION (OP-STATION)


The op-station (see Figure 3-4) includes a NEMA enclosure on a stand-alone
pedestal. The following paragraphs describe each of the controls.

3.5.1 Emergency Stop (E-Stop)


The E-Stop button on the op-station is connected to the E-Stop circuit. Interrupting
the E-Stop circuit causes the robot to go into the E-Stop condition, which
immediately turns off the servo power and removes power from the positioner
interface. This stops the positioner sweep. Pressing any one of the E-Stop buttons
also stops the movement of both robots and removes the electrical power from the
welding torch.

3.5.2 Hold
The op-station HOLD button is a normally closed pushbutton and is connected to
the MRC to cause the robots to go into the Hold condition when the button is
pressed.

3.5.3 Cycle Start


The CYCLE START palm buttons, located on both sides of the op-station, use an
anti-tiedown technique for robot input. The anti-tiedown timer is set for 10
seconds. Holding a palm button down for more than 10 seconds causes the timer
to time out and prevents the input from reaching the robot. The CYCLE START
buttons are connected to robot Input #1. Press both CYCLE START buttons at the
same time to let the positioner sweep.

3.5.4 Station Ready


The STATION READY light is interlocked with the robot Cube 1 output. The
robot Output #1 turns on the STATION READY light.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 20 MOTOMAN


3.5.5 Alarm
The ALARM light is connected to the robot Alarm Occurrence output. The
ALARM light turns on when one of the robots encounters a major or minor alarm
condition. The ALARM light also turns on when the positioner is not reset.

3.5.6 Servo On
The SERVO ON pushbutton is connected to the robot Servo On input. When the
SERVO ON pushbutton is pressed, servo power is applied to the servo motors,
but only if an E-Stop condition does not exist.

3.5.7 Positioner Auto / Manual


The POSITIONER AUTO / MANUAL selector switch is used to select Automatic
or Manual Mode for the MRM2 positioner. The selector switch is connected to
robot Input #2. When the selector switch is in the Automatic position, the robots
process the part after the positioner sweeps. In Manual Mode, the robot does not
process the part after the positioner sweeps.

NOTE: This function is dependent on the structure of the master job.

3.5.8 Master Job Start

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 21 MOTOMAN


The MASTER JOB START pushbutton is connected to the robot external start
input. The robot will start the job that is currently active when this pushbutton is
pressed if the robot is in Play Mode and the servo motors are on.

3.5.9 Operator Station Enable / Disable


The OPERATOR STATION ENABLE / DISABLE selector switch is used to
transfer primary control of the ArcWorld cell from the MRC to the op-station.
When the op-station is enabled, the light in the REMOTE MODE button on the
MRC playback box turns on and most of the programming pendant functions are
disabled.

3.5.10 Reset
The RESET pushbutton is connected to the robot alarm reset input. Most alarms
or error conditions will be cleared when this button is pressed. In addition, the
RESET pushbutton and the right CYCLE START palm button are interlocked.
When pressed simultaneously, these two buttons enable the positioner if the robot
servo motors are on. The positioner needs to be enabled at initial power up, or after
an E-Stop or shock sensor condition.

3.6 WELDING POWER SOURCE


The Excel-Arc power source (see Figure 3-5) is a constant voltage transformer-
rectifier-type welding machine. It provides volt-current characteristic curves that
are essentially flat. This power source can be used with most GMAW applications
from thin sheet metal to heavy-gauge plate.

3.6.1 Main Power


The Input Power Switch (7) turns on the main power to the Excel-Arc unit. The
main power must be on before any other section of the power source can operate.
The indicator light (1) turns on when main power is on.

3.6.2 Volt / Amp Settings


The Welding Voltage Control (2) adjusts the welding output voltage. The Volt /
Amp Meter (3) displays either DC voltage or DC current depending on the position
of the switch below the meter. Refer to your Excel-Arc Manual for additional
information.

3.6.3 Terminal Connectors


The two terminals on the front of the Excel-Arc power source serve as connection
points for the welding leads. The positive welding lead should be connected
between the Positive Terminal (4) and the wire feeder. The negative welding lead
should be connected between the Negative Terminal (5) and the positioner.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 22 MOTOMAN


3.6.4 Local / Remote Operation
The Local / Remote Output Control Selector Switch (6) sets the mode of operation
for the power source. For ArcWorld applications, this switch should be set to
REMOTE. Refer to your Excel-Arc manual for additional information.

3.6.5 Feeder Control Receptacles


The Feeder Control Receptacle Panel (8) located in the back of the power source
provides connectors for use with remote voltage control applications. For
ArcWorld applications, the MRC connects to the 19-pin connector.

3.6.6 Circuit Breakers


The Excel-Arc power source uses two 10-amp circuit breakers (9 and 10). One
circuit breaker protects the 24-volt circuit; the other protects the 115-volt circuit.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 23 MOTOMAN


Figure 3-5 Excel-Arc Controls

3.6.7 AC Receptacles
The Excel-Arc unit has two standard 115 VAC Receptacles (11). These provide
auxiliary power at a maximum current of 10 amps. For applications using the
water-cooled torch, the water circulator plugs into one of these receptacles.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 24 MOTOMAN


3.7 WELDING EQUIPMENT
In addition to the Excel-Arc power sources, the ArcWorld 6200 system provides a
complete complement of arc welding equipment. In its standard configuration, the
ArcWorld system includes the following:
• PWF4-600 wire feeder
• Universal welding interface
• Either an air-cooled or water-cooled GMAW torch
• RAM torch breakaway mount

3.7.1 PWF4 -600 Wire Feeder


The PWF4-600 wire feeder mounts on the robot arm. This 4-roll wire feeder
provides reliable wire feeding at rates up to 600 IPM. An integral gas valve
provides fast gas response time. The wire feeder has an inch forward button to
help simplify setup and reduce change-over time. The wire feeder uses
interchangeable feed rolls to accommodate different types and sizes of wire.

3.7.2 Universal Welding Interface (UWI)


The UWI provides microprocessor control to the wire feeder and power source. It
scales the signals from the MRC to the appropriate levels required for control of the
welding components. It also provides isolation of the power source analog signals.

3.7.3 GMAW Torch


The ArcWorld 6200 uses either an air-cooled or water-cooled robotic/automatic
GMAW torch. These are heavy-duty torches designed for quick replacement while
requiring minimum robot reprogramming. The GMAW torch attaches to the
RAM torch breakaway mount that is connected to the end of the robot wrist. For
applications that use the water-cooled torch, the ArcWorld 6200 includes a suitable
water circulator kit.

3.7.4 RAM Torch Breakaway Mount


A Motoman RAM torch breakaway mount protects the robot, workpiece, fixture,
and positioner. It provides multi-directional impact detection, including Z-axis
collisions. The mount causes the robot to stop immediately upon impact. The
joints are match-marked to ensure accurate realignment of components.

3.8 SAFETY EQUIPMENT


The ArcWorld 6200 system incorporates a host of safety equipment. When all
standard safety precautions are taken, the safety equipment helps to ensure safe
operation of the robotic cell. The ANSI/RIA R15.06 Robot Safety Standard

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 25 MOTOMAN


stipulates the user is responsible for safeguarding. Users are responsible for
determining whether the provided safeguards are adequate for plant
conditions. Users must also ensure that safeguards are maintained in
working order.

The ArcWorld 6200 safety features include the following:


• Arc screens
• Safety fencing
• Dual interlocking cell door
• Interlocked safety mats
• Emergency stop (E-Stop) buttons

3.8.1 Arc Screens


Two separate arc screens are used on the ArcWorld 6200. The first is a metal arc
screen on the turntable positioner. This screen blocks arc radiation and sparks from
the welding operation. The material used to cover the safety fencing of the entire
robotic cell acts as the second arc screen. This material reduces the amount of ultra-
violet radiation that escapes from the robotic cell.

WARNING!
Although this screen blocks dangerous arc radiation, you should
not look directly at the arc during operation without protective
eyewear!

3.8.2 Fencing
The safety fencing provided with the ArcWorld 6200 encloses the entire robotic
cell. It forms a physical barrier to prevent entry into the robot envelope.

3.8.3 Interlocks
Dual safety interlocks on the cell entrance door prevent entry into the cell during
operation. The interlocks consist of a pull plug and magnetic door switch.
Opening the cell door with the robot in Play causes an E-Stop and shuts down the
entire system.

3.8.4 Safety Mats


The safety mat provided with the ArcWorld 6200 helps prevent serious injury to
anyone entering the positioner area during the sweeping process. If a person steps
on this mat when the positioner is in motion, an E-Stop occurs causing the entire
system to shut down.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 26 MOTOMAN


3.8.5 Emergency Stops (E-Stops)
In addition to the interlocking devices described above, the ArcWorld 6200 has
strategically placed E-Stop buttons. The E-Stop buttons immediately cause the
system to shut down, and are located as follows:
• On the playback box on the MRC controller
• On the MRC programming pendant
• On the op-station
In addition, the following conditions also cause an E-Stop:
• Opening the cell door while the robot is in Play mode
• Stepping on the safety mat while the positioner is sweeping
• Loss of air system pressure
• Activating the shock sensor

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 27 MOTOMAN


4.0 OPERATION
This section provides operation instructions for the ArcWorld 6200 system.
Operation procedures include the following:
• System start-up
• Part setup
• Normal operation
• Fault recovery
• System shutdown
Several sample programs are included in this section. The listed programs
demonstrate the proper format and instruction sequences for different operations.
You can use these programs as guidelines when creating programs for your
specific applications.

4.1 OPERATING PROCEDURES


The ArcWorld 6200 is a fully integrated robotic GMAW welding cell. The robots
weld parts on one side of the 180˚ reciprocating positioner, while the operator loads
parts on the opposite side. Once the robots are finished with their process, they
return to the safe position. The operator can then initiate the positioner sweep,
enabling the robots to start welding on the next part.

The safety door interlocks prevent anyone from entering the cell while the robots
are in Play Mode. If anyone steps on the safety mats in front of the part loading
area during the positioner sweep, an E-Stop occurs.

4.1.1 Start-Up
To start up the ArcWorld 6200 from a power-off condition, proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the MRC disconnect.
2. Turn on the two power source disconnects.
3. Set the INPUT POWER switch on both welding power sources to ON. The
indicator light should turn on.
4. Set the main power switch on the MRC to ON.
5. Open the regulator valve on the welding gas supply.
6. Press the TEACH MODE button on the MRC playback box. The indicator
light in the switch should turn on.
7. Press the SERVO POWER button on the MRC playback box. The indicator
light in the switch should turn on.

15. Wait for the STATION READY indicator light to turn on.
The ArcWorld 6200 Cell is now ready for operation.

4.1.2 Loading / Unloading Procedures


The following is the typical sequence of operations for the ArcWorld 6200 Cell
after startup:
1. Load production parts on the fixtures located on the operator side of the MRM2
positioner.
2. Step off the safety mats and wait for the STATION READY indicator light to
turn on.
3. Press both CYCLE START palm buttons on the op-station to sweep the
positioner. This places the parts to be welded in the robot work envelope.
4. After the positioner sweeps, the robots begin the welding sequence on the parts.
The coordinated motion capability of the system allows rotation of the weld
side of the positioner during the welding cycle, but the positioner will not sweep
and the operator side of the positioner will not move.
5. Unload the welded parts from the fixture on the operator side.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to continue production.

4.1.3 E-Stop Recovery


An E-Stop can occur under any one of the following conditions:
• Pressing the E-Stop button on the op-station, the programming pendant, or the
MRC playback box
• Opening the sliding door on the robot enclosure or removing the safety plug
when the robot is not in Teach Mode
• Stepping on the safety mat when the MRM2 positioner is sweeping
• Activation of the shock sensor, indicating a robot crash

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 29 MOTOMAN


• Loss of air system pressure
To restart the ArcWorld 6200 Cell after an E-Stop condition occurs, follow the
procedure below.
1. To clear the E-Stop condition, do any of the following actions that apply:
• Release the E-Stop button on the op-station, the programming pendant, or

3. While pressing the shock sensor override button, use the programming pendant
to operate the manipulator.
To resume operation after clearing the Shock Sensor condition, proceed as follows:
1. Press the RESET and right CYCLE START buttons on the operator's station at
the same time. This initializes the positioner.

CAUTION!
You may need to move the robot to recover from a crash. To
avoid another crash, make sure that the robot has a clear path to
the next step.

2. Press the MASTER JOB START button.

4.1.5 Shutdown
Use the following procedure to shut down the ArcWorld 6200 Cell after operation
is complete:
1. Make sure that Robot 1 is in Cube 1 and Robot 2 is in Cube 2.
2. To turn off the robot servo motors, press the E-Stop button on either the op-
station, programming pendant, or MRC playback box.
3. Press the TEACH MODE button on the MRC playback box.
4. Set the MRC Main Power switch to the OFF position.
5. Turn off the MRC disconnect.
6. Set the INPUT POWER switch on the welding power source to the OFF
position.
7. Turn off the two power source disconnects.
8. Close the regulator valve on the welding gas supply.
The ArcWorld 6200 Cell is now shut down.

4.1.6 Fault Recovery


Under varying conditions, an alarm or error can occur. Clearing an alarm or error
condition may require different operator intervention depending on the nature of the
alarm or error. In some cases, simply resetting the robot and restarting the
operation is sufficient. In other instances, you must first remedy the condition
causing the alarm or error. Refer to Section 4.2, Alarms and Errors.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 31 MOTOMAN


4.2 ALARMS AND ERRORS
Alarms and errors will cause the program to stop. There are three levels of alarms
and errors: Error Messages, Minor Alarms, and Major Alarms.

For more detailed information about alarm recovery, refer to your Motoman MRC
Operator's Manual for Arc Welding.

4.2.1 Error Messages


These are simple errors such as pressing the START button when the robot is not
in PLAY mode, or enabling the programming pendant without the servo power
being live.

Errors like these are cleared by pressing the CANCEL or ENABLE button on the
programming pendant.

4.2.2 Minor Alarms


Minor alarms are usually programming errors. Minor alarms might occur if a
circle has been programmed with fewer than three circular points, etc.

These alarms are cleared by pressing one of the following:


• RELEASE soft key on the programming pendant
• RESET button on the op-station
• ENABLE button on the programming pendant

4.2.3 Major Alarms


Major alarms are hardware failures. Major alarms might occur because of a servo
tracking error or an abnormal speed associated with crashes. To clear these alarms,
you must turn off the controller and then turn it on again.

4.3 PROGRAMMING
The MRM2 positioner with its programmable axis offers a high degree of
programming flexibility. The robots can be programmed to weld a part with the
headstock stationary, or the robots and headstock can move simultaneously to weld
a part while turning. Further, the robots may be programmed to execute
synchronous jobs, simultaneous mirror opposite jobs, both robots may be
programmed to weld different seams on the same part, or each robot may be
programmed to execute a completely different job at the same time.

You can program the robots independently (R1 or R2 jobs), the station axis
independently (S1 job), or master robot and station axis together (R1 + S1 job
combinations). You must select the axis combination when teaching the job

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 32 MOTOMAN


initially. We recommend programming the robot and station axis together
(R1 + S1 S1 jobs) to reduce the risk of interference.

WARNING!
The positioner axis operates as another robot axis and has the
potential of hazardous motion.

CAUTION!
If the robots are working on a part and the headstock is not
turning, DO NOT assume that the headstock will not turn. The
robots are executing programmed steps which could index the
headstock at any time.

NOTE: The ArcWorld 6200 robot S-axes are restricted by hardstops on the robot base and internal
soft stops. Do not change.

4.3.1 Cube Assignment


The system uses the cube outputs as an interlock for sweeping. Robot 1 must be in
Cube 1 and Robot 2 must be in Cube 2 before the positioner can sweep. The cubes
are software zones around the tool center points (TCP). Each cube should be
defined with the robot clear of the positioner sweep motion. The cube outputs can
be viewed in diagnostics under Specified Outputs.

The ArcWorld 6200 uses the Cube 3 output as an interlock for robot motion. This
is a software zone between the robots in which it is possible for the robot paths to
intersect. However, when one robot is operating in this cube, the other is prohibited
from entry and vice versa.

NOTE: Redefinition of Cube 3 parameters will probably be required after a fixture change.

CAUTION!
Do not change cube positions unless absolutely necessary, as
such changes increase the possibility that the paths of the robot
arms may intersect with fixtures or each other.

To assign the K6 or K10 robot manipulator positions to Cube 1 or Cube 2, refer to


your MRC User Functions Manuals.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 33 MOTOMAN


NOTE: If the robot moves outside of the cube, the output is lost and the positioner will not sweep.

4.3.2 Sweeping Positioner to Side A


To sweep the positioner to Side A:
1. Press the SERVO ON button on the op-station.
2. Make sure that Robot 1 is in Cube 1 and Robot 2 is in Cube 2. Make sure that

1. Enable the programming pendant.
2. Press the GROUP AXES key and make sure the key LED turns on.
3. Press the X+ or X- keys to move the headstock. Jog speed is set on the
programming pendant.

NOTE: The GROUP AXES key must be turned off to move the robots with the motion keys.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 35 MOTOMAN


4.3.5 Programming
You can program three types of moves:
• Rotation of the positioner during air cut moves
• Robot motion with positioner stationary
• Rotation of the positioner during welding
The job you create may consist of a combination of the above. The first two types
of moves assume a robot plus station group axis specification (for example,
R1 + S1). The last type of move is called station synchronous and should be
programmed with a station plus robot(s) group axis specification (for example,
R1 + S1 S1).

CAUTION!
Remember that the robots only know where the Tool Center
Points (TCPs) are, and if not programmed carefully, the arms
could still intersect.

NOTE: Refer to the Operator's Manual for Jigless for information on coordinated motion, selecting
synchronization, group axes, and tooling calibration.

Rotating the Positioner During Air Cut Moves


1. Teach the robot to the desired position.
2. Rotate the positioner to the desired position.
a. Press the GROUP AXES button on the programming pendant. The LED
will turn on.
b. Press MAN SPEED button to select the desired axis speed while teaching.
c. Press the first set of motion keys, +X or -X, to move the axis in the desired
direction.
3. Record the step after designating the motion type and playback speed.
4. Check the path with the step FWD or step BWD keys. The position for the
robot or positioner may have to be altered to prevent torch interference.

WARNING!
The positioner axis operates as another robot axis and has the
potential for hazardous motion. The slave robot does not know
ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 36 MOTOMAN
when the positioner is moving except in PLAY MODE and with
proper I/O communication.

NOTE: The GROUP AXES button must be turned off to move the robot.

NOTE: Normally, air cut moves are taught as Joint moves. The speed for Joint moves is specified as a
percentage of maximum speed (VJ=0.01 to 100.00). The axis which takes the longest time to
complete the programmed motion automatically determines the speed of the system. This
might be a wrist axis, a major robot axis, or the positioner axis. Cycle times can be reduced by
changing wrist orientation, robot position, and headstock position simultaneously between
program points rather than making the moves independently. Setting the speed at 100.00 will
normally establish the quickest time between steps.

Robot Motion with the Positioner Stationary


1. Program the robot position without moving the positioner axis.
2. Set motion type and speeds in the normal fashion.

Rotation of the Positioner During Welding


The MRC controller can coordinate motion with the external axis. This requires
calibration of the headstock and robot at the time of installation. Jobs programmed
for coordinated motion must be taught as S1 + R1 jobs.

Move instructions for coordinated motion are registered using the following
format:

Slave side

{
SMOVL=138 (manipulator with
Coordinated torch)
motion
instruction Master side
MOVL (positioner with
workpiece)

In coordinated motion instructions, an "S" prefixes the instruction to the slave side.

Converting Programs from Side A to Side B - Master Robot Only


The positioner uses the external axis to sweep the positioner in addition to driving
the headstock. This results in the external axis position being 180˚ offset from the
other side. This offset amount can be determined from the difference in the
external axis pulse counts at the two sweep positions. Software can be used to

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual Page 37 MOTOMAN


modify the position of the external axis in a job copied to run on the opposite side.
This may be of particular importance to the ArcWorld 6200 user, as it facilitates the
development of duplicate jobs on opposite sides of the positioner.
1. Determine the pulse count difference of the external axis between Sides A
and B. To do this, display the position (POSN) screen.
2. Set the pulse count offset amount into an EX variable.
3. Make a copy of the original job. Designate the proper side in the original and
copied job name.
4. Use the modify position (MODPS) function to change the position of the
external axis in the program.
5. Step through the new program to verify the path.

APPENDIX A - RISK ASSESSMENT
MOTOMAN Risk Assessment

ArcWorld 6200 System

Application: Arc Welding Robot Type: K6 or K10

Customer: Varies Plant Loc.: Varies

See cell layout

This document was prepared to explain the rationale behind the safeguarding of
Motoman's ArcWorld 6200 robot cell. It is the User's responsibility to review
this document and verify that the safeguards are adequate for their plant
conditions. This review should include the current revision of ANSI/RIA R15.06
American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety Requirements.
The User must also ensure that safeguards are used and maintained.

SAFEGUARDING PERSONNEL

Safeguarding Plant Personnel


• Barrier around robot work envelope.
• Interlocked gate for access to cell.
• Curtain around cell blocks ultra-violet radiation from arc.
• Serious hazards are identified by warning labels.

Safeguarding Operator
• Interlocked gates stop robot motion if opened in PLAY mode.
• Dual sensors on interlocked gates make safeguards difficult for operator
to defeat.
• Emergency Stop button on op-station.
• Two-station positioner keeps operator out of robot work envelope.
• Extended length safety mats are interlocked to stop positioner motion when
activated. Requires reset at op-station to restart.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual A-1 MOTOMAN


• Robot program will wait for Cycle Start buttons before sweeping positioner.
• Cycle Start has dual palm buttons, anti-tiedown, positioned for two-hand
operation.

Safeguarding Teacher
• Interlocked gate: Active in PLAY mode; inactive in TEACH mode.
• Clearance of 24 inches between robot and fencing.
• E-Stop (Emergency Stop) button on programming pendant.
• S-axis motion is restricted by hardstops.
• TEACH LOCK prevents operation from controller while programming
pendant is enabled.
• Sweeping of positioner from pendant requires deliberate action.
• Continuous stepping is at reduced speed.

Safeguarding Maintenance Personnel


• Robot controls are outside barrier.
• Positioner controls are inside cell, but do not require robot drive power to
troubleshoot.
• Electrical energy sources equipped with lockout/tagout.
• Programming pendant displays I/O status and other diagnostic functions.

SOURCES OF HAZARDS

Unauthorized Access
• Interlocked barrier.
• Dual interlocks, difficult to defeat by operator.

Human Errors in Judgment


• Safety mat interlocked with positioner.
• Dual palm cycle start.
• Emergency Stops on op-station, robot controller, and programming pendant.

Control Errors
• Most Safety features independent of program logic.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual A-2 MOTOMAN


• Program must have instructions to wait for palm buttons to sweep.

Mechanical / Electrical Failures


• Safety mat supplied with fail-safe circuit.
• Redundant door interlocks.
• Interlocks designed to fail-safe.
• Robot has sophisticated control loop designed to remove drive power in case of
positioning error.

Environmental
• Sheet metal partition and UV curtain to help prevent eye damage from ultra-
violet radiation.
• UV curtain helps contain welding sparks.

NOTE: Fume ventilation may be required depending on application and plant conditions. (To be
determined and provided by USER.)

NOTE: Care must be used when handling and securing compressed and combustible gases. (User
supplied.)

Installation Defects
• Safeguards will place the robot in Emergency Stop unless they are correctly
connected.
• Safety fence is self supporting when fully erected (fencing should be lagged).
• Equipment is shipped on bases to ease installation and provide a secure
mounting surface (robot base needs to be leveled and lagged).

Power System Failure or


Inadvertent Power Initiation
• Easy recovery from power failure.
• Different levels of power up: primary power on, controller power on, servo
power on, and robot start. Difficult to inadvertently start.

ArcWorld 6200 Operator's Manual A-3 MOTOMAN


EQUIPMENT PROTECTION

Human Errors
• Torch breakaway protects robot and torch in the case of a torch crash.
• Cube interlock requires the robot to be in a (user defined) "safe" position before
the positioner can index.
• Cube 2 Output is used as an interlock for robot motion. This is a software zone
between the robots in which it would be possible for the paths of the robots to
intersect. When the Master robot is operating in the cube, the Slave is
prohibited from entry.

Power Faults
• Isolation transformer and circuit breaker protect robot from power surges
(additional surge protection may be necessary at your facility).
• Robot "remembers" its position and place in program at power down.
• Data has battery backup and can be saved on optional floppy disk drive.

WHAT-IF CONSIDERATIONS
What if personnel reach over safety mat and pinch an arm on moving parts?

Extended length mats are provided to help prevent inadvertent access to moving
parts.

What if there is a hazard not covered by a warning label?

Labels are provided on positioner, robot, power source, feeder, transformer, and
robot controller. Persons working on equipment should have adequate training to
identify hazards.
