It sets new standards with its modular concept, a completely new economically designed portable interface unit, the FlexPendant and fully synchronous multiple (up to four) robot control through the MultiMove function. The new controller is focused directly at the customer with greatly simplified application planning, set-up, operation and serviceability of single and multiple robot cells. A key element in this superior 'customer friendliness' is the new class-leading portable interface unit, the FlexPendant, with its intuitive Windows layout and touch-screen operation. The modular concept also means every system is a cost-efficient investment, designed to match the exact needs of the user, and yet is readily expandable to meet future demands. It is a true lean solution that will lead to increased customer life-time profitability. The modularity of the IRC5 is a major step forward in robot control with a logical split of functions into control, axis drives and process. Each module is housed in its own cabinet with an identical footprint so they may be stacked for minimal floor occupancy or distributed depending on the user's need. There is minimum dependency between the modules, each having its own computer power and supervision and linked to the others by Ethernet. This flexibility makes it possible to optimize cell layouts and to upgrade or replace one module with minimal interference to the others. MultiMove IRC5 has the ability to control multiple robots with the potential to reduce costs, improve quality, increase productivity and expand robot applications. MultiMove allows applications that were previously impossible - all thanks to the perfect coordination of complex motion patterns.  MORE IMAGES  · Dual Cabinet · Single Cabinet
