Expert press handling robots with high performance drive systems
March 2008 |
Motoman's EPH-series “Expert Press Handling” robots set a new standard for speed with a large robot and are specifically designed for the rigors of press tending. Compared to general purpose robots, the EPH-series feature higher performance drive systems on the S, L and U axes (axes 1, 2, 3) for high duty cycle applications. Shelf-mounted versions are available and provide improved clearance for die changes. These robots feature a high vibration rating of 9.8 m/s2 (1.0G), which is needed for the press room environment.
All EPH series robots are controlled by the NX100 controller. The NX100 offers unmatched multiple axes control capability to maximize flexibility while minimizing cost of integration and eliminating risk of robot collisions. Dual-channel safety features include enhanced E-stop functionality, integrated speed monitoring, manual brake release switches, and compliance with both ANSI/RIA R1506-1999 and Canadian safety standards.
The NX100 controller offers connectivity through standard Ethernet and other network options, including: DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus-DP, and EtherNet/IP. The programming pendant features a color touch-screen display that can be configured as a custom HMI (Human Machine Interface) with buttons and status indicators.
