Applicator Test Stand  

Electric-pneumatic devices used to test the FANUC Robotics’ VersaBell and VersaBell II applicators.

Atomizer

Customer specific Paint Applicator used to apply prime, base coat and clear coat materials to the exterior and interior areas of assembled parts.

Collision Guard

Provides a highly sensitive method to detect that the robot has collided with an object and then stops the robot immediately, avoiding or minimizing damage to tooling and robot, as well as downtime.

Collision Skip

Uses the features of the Collision Guard option to set up skip conditions so that if a robot collides with a foreign object, you can take different courses of action depending on the skip conditions.

Condition Handlers

A condition (CH) program monitors the condition of an I/O signal, register value, or alarm status, during teach pendant program execution. As soon as the condition is triggered, the specified teach pendant program is executed and interrupts the current program. 

Configure Aux Axis

Covers Robot Library and Extended axis Setup procedures.

Coordinated Motion

Describes motion for multiple motion groups, enabling the coordinated movement of multiple robots. When used, multiple motion groups move together to maintain the same position relative to each other.

Coordinated Offset Function

Changes either the tool coordinate system or the user coordinate system for a range of motion instructions in a program for which teaching has been completed.

DeviceNet

A Controller Area Network (CAN) BUS-based interface that provides a simplified method of connection between industrial actuators and sensors, and an I/O controller.

DispenseTool Overview

Cover the process solution to specific dispensing requirements and the versatile dispensing equipment support which can be provided.

Dual Check Safety

Employ this feature to minimize the size of work cells and isolate movement in, or out, of specific areas. Consists of six safety functions collectively called Position/Speed Check, checking speed and position data of motors with two independent CPUs in the robot controller. RIA accepted safety option.

Ethernet I/O

EtherNet /IP interface supports an I/O exchange with other EtherNet/IP enabled devices over an Ethernet network.

Fast Fault Recovery

Error Recovery can execute two kinds of recovery programs: Resume Programs and Maintenance Programs, performing these operations automatically and eliminating the time required to manually jog the robot.

Fluid delivery Overview

Customer specific fluid delivery processes available and the components used.

GUI Screen Overview

Overview of the Graphical User Interface “GUI” screens used in Paint Applications.

HandlingPRO

A 3-D graphical offline programming solution that simplifies robotic path teaching and allows for feasibility studies.

Line/Rail Tracking

Enables a robot to treat a moving work piece as a stationary object, used in conveyor applications.

Lubrication of Robot

Provides detailed instruction and procedures necessary for complete recommended PM Lubrication of a FANUC robot mechanical unit.

Material Handler Gripper Option

The Material Handling option provides the controller with the ability to set up, configure, and control the functioning of vacuum or clamp-style material handling valves. You define the tooling valve type, characteristics, and I/O. Then you can control the tooling valve using specific macro commands that are called from within a teach pendant program, run from the Manual Functions screen, or run by pressing a teach pendant user key.

 

Mixed Logic

The Mixed Logic Instructions option provides any combination of operators and data in TP program assignment statements, IF statements and WAIT statements.  Mixed logic also provides Background Logic, which allows simultaneous, continuous, repeated execution of as many as eight TP programs containing only assignment statements.

Multi Arm

Overview of Robot Control at controlling up to 4 robots with a single controller. The robots can move synchronously or independently according to the robot program.

Multi Tasking

Multi-tasking allows more than one program to run on the controller on a time-sharing basis, so that multiple programs appear to run simultaneously.  We will discuss how multiple programs are written and the associated requirements.  Methods of execution such as the SOP, PNS and RUN Instructions will be performed.  Also, strategies for synchronizing multiple programs will be taught.

PaintPRO

A 3-D graphical offline programming solution that simplifies robotic path teaching and paint process development.

Palletizing

Overview of the Integrated Software Option for easier handling of the Pallet System. Pallet matrix directly configured via the teach pendant.

Password Customization

Used to allow authorized personnel access to various operations and screens. Configuring passwords allows you to use an XML file to set up how the password function works.

Payload Setup

Is the weight or mass of the robot’s end-of-arm tooling and work-piece.  It is important that the payload data used by the robot be as accurate as possible. The more accurate the values, the more effective features such as Collision Guard and Soft Float will be, as well as the longevity of the mechanical integrity of the robot.

Preventive Maintenance

Provides detailed instruction and procedures necessary for complete recommended Preventive and Periodic Maintenance (PM) of a FANUC robot mechanical unit.

Program Shift Utility

Allows you to offset the positions of an entire teach pendant program or a portion of a teach pendant program, affording user to compensate for re-mastering variations or EOAT damage.

Program Toolbox

The Program Toolbox software provides programming utilities such as mirror image, flip wrist editing capabilities, and Limit Set. 

Reference Position

Overview of how defining position limits within which an output signal will turn on. 

Remote Tool Center Point

Defining the frame using the location of the remote TCP as the origin of the frame. (RTCP) Frame (HandlingTool, DispenseTool, and SpotTool+ only).

Robot Mastering and Calibration

Covers all pertinent methods of Mastering, which can help avoid variation issues if available options are utilized. Defines the physical location of the robot by synchronizing the mechanical information with the robot’s positional information. A robot must be mastered to operate properly.

Robot Purge

Robot motors require ignition capable energy in order to operate. In order to operate in a hazardous (classified) location, the motors are contained within a purged and pressurized cavity.

Sealer System Overview

Overview of the process solution to specific dispensing requirements and the equipment required.

Shape Generation

Simplifies cutting two dimensional shapes. The option also reduces online programming time by reducing the number of required taught robot positions and providing features such as shape cut interface.

Software load

What you must do, What you have, and What you need to set up and install the components in your Software Installation Package 

Soft Float

Soft Float is a feature that is used to compensate for variances in work piece precision in applications where the robot is used to mount work pieces on a machine tool.

Space Check

Monitors a predetermined interference area (space). When another robot or a peripheral unit is located within that space, the function stops robot operation if it is being commanded to move into that space.

Tool Centerpoint Setup

Cartesian coordinate system that has the position of the tool center point (TCP) at its origin, where the work is to be done.

Tool Frame Adjust

Allows you to modify the tool frame to compensate for an End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) that has been bent or misaligned due to a crash.

Torchmate

A low cost, easy-to-use solution for automatic adjustment of the Tool Center Point (TCP), it automatically compensates for bent torch barrels and worn contact tips to reduce weld defects and increase system productivity.

Touch Sensing

Allows the robot to change a path automatically to compensate for object displacement.

TP Prompt Boxes

Used to make sure the operator is aware of something. When a prompt box message screen is displayed, the teach pendant program pauses until the operator responds.
