Robotics, systems of vision and hygiene integrated cheese cheese in some only surroundings of automation

The robotic day of Leitat hangs the poster of ‘complete'

Editorial Interempresas11/01/2013

A day of robotics celebrated the past month of November in the technological centre Leitat (Barcelona) in which they participated important companies of the world of the automation resulted in a success of participation. This shows that, on the one hand, the sector has interest by the automation, and by another, that the host signatures: B&R, Stäubli and Cognex, have strength and more than credibility. The second day of Arrasate (Guipúzcoa) harvested the same success of participation. The secret? A technological product with a solid technological base and a narrow collaboration with the customer.

The days showed the increasing interest by the systems automated.

These days were allocated to engineers in search of new solutions that allow them tackle applications with these systems. The assistants obtained a clear and practical vision of the possibilities of integration. Likewise, the day served so that the assistants showed his interests after each intervention. Kepa Gorriti of Staübli presented the range of robots and specialisation by segments whereas Josep Maria Serra, general director of the signature gave to know uniVAL, the open platform for generic controls. The signature commercialises a wide range of products, from small robots of type Scara until big robots of 6 axles, able to manipulate upper loads to 250 kg.

Josep Maria Serra, general director of the signature gave to know uniVAL, between other novelties.

Hand-held of Josep Mª Serra the assistants could know the solution uniVAL drive, developed for the manufacturers of machinery that already have of a controller of external axles and pretend to realise a complete integration in an only platform, including the control of the own arm. The connectivity is ensured by means of a bus of real time like Powerlink, Ethercat or Sercos III.

The solution has been developed for the manufacturers of machinery that already have of a controller of external axles.

The robots Stäubli now can operate directly with controls of B&R thanks to the interface Powerlink in the drivers uniVAL of Stäubli, which allows to transfer the programs of Generic Motion Control of the controllers of B&R to the robots.

The system Unival of Stäubli allows the use of generic systems of motion control. The controllers Unival use the passive way that allows them check cuales of the commandos that arrive him are valid regarding cinematic and hygiene. The interface of uniform operation means that the programmers of the system can save time, money and work during the set up.

Ramón Díaz presented the Ethernet-Powerlink and open Safety standard for the integration and the GMC (Generic Motion Control) - Robotic, Motion and CNC.

Cognex, of the hand of Toni García, presented the new tendencies applications in vision (3D) and the Insight7000, the new generation of compact cameras. These implement a port of Powerlink integrated cheese cheese of series, and that in addition to his powerful tools of vision incorporates autoenfoque, capture of images swifter, lighting and lens integrated cheese cheese as well as capacity to feed and control external lighting.

Stäubli And B&R, two partners in the automation.

By part of B&R Ramón Díaz presented the Ethernet-Powerlink and open Safety standard for the integration and the GMC (Generic Motion Control) - Robotic, Motion and CNC. Powerlink Vision System Allows the easy integration in systems B&R, a better better synchronisation and reduction of wired up.

B&R Offers in his platform Automation Studio with Powerlink the possibility to integrate these systems incorporating besides the hygiene. The reduction of time of rejection in solutions of vision as well as the integration of accionamientos additional to an application of robotics, and even the control of several robots in an only control offers some unquestionable advantages.

The assistants showed interest by the solutions of the three signatures.

The Powerlink Vision System allows the easy integration in systems B&R, a better better synchronisation and reduction of wired up.

B&R Has a wide experience in integrated cheese cheese automation in numerous sectors. It offers solutions of automation for the control of machines, processes and systems of production. A complete solution from an only source.
