If the address
contains a point, the robot will move the X, Y and Z axes to that
location and execute the rotation corresponding to the value of the R in
that point. Depending on the type of point registered at that location, the robot
may also perform other functions, such as turn the dispenser on or off.
The most commonly used point types are: Dispense Dot, Line Start,
Line Passing, Arc Point, and Line End.
To
program the robot to dispense a ‘dot’ of material, the dispensing tip
is jogged to the desired XYZ location (and
in 4 axes, in the desired R position of the
tip), and that location is registered as a
DISPENSE DOT by pressing the appropriate key on the Teach Pendant.
It is easy to learn and makes dispensing simple.
To
program the robot to dispense a bead of material along a linear path,
the XYZ location (and in 4 axes, the R
position of the tip) of the start of the line is registered as a LINE
START point. The locations where the tip changes direction (and
position) are registered as LINE PASSING points. The end of the line is
registered as a LINE END point:
To
dispense a bead of material in an arc, the XYZ location (and R position
of the tip) of the start of the line is registered as a LINE START
point. The high point of the arc is registered as an ARC Point. The end
of the arc is registered as a LINE END point.
Lines and arcs can also be combined to dispense a bead of material along
a more complex path. If the
paths are intricate enough to warrant it, there is a Servo Windows
Dispensing Software Package available as an option. Some customers find
it simple enough to use a teach pendant, others require more.
Once the required point locations for your program have been taught, the
teach pendant is no longer required. The unit can be switched to RUN
mode and operated using the buttons and switches on the
main unit control panel.
Teach Pendants are included in the price of each of the Servo Cartesian
and Servo Gantry Robots. If you require
another unit or a replacement for the one you bought, use the following;
