1.1.1.2 Teaching Procedure


To playback the manipulator, the instruction to move the manipulator must
be written in a job. This instruction is called a move instruction. The
destination position, the interpolation method, the play speed, etc. are
registered in the move instruction.

Main move instructions begin with “MOV” in the INFORM III language
used by the DX200.

<Example>

MOVJ VJ=50.00

MOVL V=1122 PL=1

<Example>

Refer to the following JOB CONTENT window. When executing playback,


the manipulator moves to the position of Step 1 with the interpolation type
and play speed registered in Step 1’s move instruction. Then, the
manipulator moves between Steps 1 and 2 with the interpolation type and
play speed registered in Step 2’s move instruction. Then, the manipulator
moves between Steps 2 and 3 with the interpolation type and play speed
registered in Step 3’s move instruction. After the manipulator reaches the
position of Step 3, the manipulator then executes the TIMER instruction
followed by the DOUT instruction, and then continues on to Step 4.

1.1.3.3 Confirmation of Cutting Operation (Speed Limitation Drive)


The speed limitation drive is executed to confirm the taught path.
All the operations operate below the limitation speed during teach mode
(250 mm/s usually) in the speed limitation drive. If the taught speed is
below the limitation speed, the operation is executed at the same speed
as the teaching procedure.

1.3.1 Weaving Basic Coordinate System


Weaving is performed based on the following coordinate system. This
coordinate system is automatically generated when weaving is executed.
Wall direction

Direction of travel

Horizontal direction

Weaving Basic Coordinate System

Wall Direction: Z-direction of the robot axis


Horizontal Direction: The direction to the approach point from the wall
Direction of Travel: The direction in which the manipulator moves from the
weaving start point to the end point

SUPPLE
The approach point is a point indicated by a step immedi-
-MENT ately before the step where weaving starts.

Z-axis

Wall direction

Approach point

Horizontal
direction

Depending on the mounting status and shape of the work-


piece, a definition of the above coordinate system may not
be sufficient to generate a weaving pattern. In this case,
register the reference point REFP 1, REFP 2, or REFP 3
NOTE (MODE: ELLIPSE).
If the “MODE” is set to “ELLIPSE”, the reference point
REFP 1 will not be referred to.

1.3.1.1 Cases that Require the Registration of Reference Points

The registration of the reference point REFP 1, REFP 2, or REFP 3 is not


usually required. They are required only with a special workpiece
condition, etc.

The REFP 1, that defines the wall direction, is a point on the wall surface
or its expansion plane. The REFP 2, which defines the horizontal
direction, is a point at the right or left side of the wall.

If the “MODE” is set to “ELLIPSE”, REFP 3 is the reference point which


defines the direction of travel.

Set one of the following timer modes:


WEAV STOP: Weaving stops but manipulator moves.
ROBOT STOP: Manipulator stops.

WEAV STOP: Weaving stops but manipulator moves.

ROBOT STOP: Manipulator pauses.

I. MOVING TIME
If “SPEED TYPE” is set to “MOVING TIME”, the moving time specified
here determines the moving speed in each of the weaving sections
(explained in “TIMER (MODE)” above).
J. STOP TIMER
Specifies the timer to determine weaving stop or manipulator stop for
each section (explained in “TIMER (MODE)” above).

NOTE If the corner radius (CR) is specified in the move instruction,


weaving operations cannot be performed.

When MODE is set to ELLIPSE, weaving operations can be


performed only in MOVL, MOVC, SMOVL, SMOVC, or
IMOV.

NOTE ELLIPSE cannot be used when the teaching such as the


following is performed in the two-manipulator coordinated
system.
• The travel distance of the master-side manipulator is lon-
ger than that of the slave-side manipulator.

2.1.2.1 Function
The following instructions open and close the grippers mounted on the
manipulator. They correspond to single-, double-, and triple-position
solenoids. Up to four grippers can be controlled for each manipulator.
The following sequences are available for solenoid signal control,
according to the valve selected.

 SP (single-solenoid)
The HAND instruction turns ON/OFF the gripper valve (x-1). The inverse
signal is output to the gripper valve (x-2). Connect the valve to either one
when used in a single-solenoid.

 2P (double-solenoid)
The HAND instruction turns ON/OFF the gripper valve (x-1). The inverse
signal is output to the gripper valve (x-2).

 3P (triple-position solenoid)
Adding ALL to the HAND instruction allows both gripper valve (x-1) and
gripper valve (x-2) to be turned ON/OFF simultaneously. Functions as a
double-solenoid if ALL is not added to the HAND instruction.
