Robotics

In the robotics laboratory, students learn how to use the robotic simulation system CIROS Robotics (PC workstation) to learn offline programming and simulation. The programming language used is MELFA-BASIC-IV.

In the robotics laboratory, students learn how to use the robotic simulation system CIROS Robotics (PC workstation) to learn offline programming and simulation. The programming language used is MELFA-BASIC-IV.

Hardware:

• 5-axis articulated robot RV-2AJ from Mitsubishi in use with a assembly station from Festo Didactic
• 6-axis articulated robot RV-1A from Mitsubishi
• 4-axis SCARA robot RH-6SDH from Mitsubishi
• Image processing system "In-Sight 3000" (Cognex)
• Image processing system "In-Sight 5000" (Cognex)
• Sampling laser scanner from SICK (PLS101-312) for safeguarding hazardous areas including practical emergency stop wiring

The hardware is networked with each other via a switch in a laboratory intranet, so between the PCs, industrial robots and image processing systems communication via Ethernet TCP / IP is possible.

Software:

• 23 licenses CIROS Robotics
  (Offline robot programming and simulation system, training version)
• 7 licenses CIROS Studio
  (Offline robot programming and simulation system with cell modulation option and online connection to the real robot)
• 6 licenses CIROS Production
  (Material flow simulation system for plant planning

What is being done?

1st part of the internship:

Tasks on the robot simulation system CIROS Robotics (PC workstation) for learning offline programming and simulation.

Programming language used: MELFA-BASIC-IV

2nd part of the internship:

Programming and commissioning of an assembly task on a real robot cell with a 5-axis articulated robot (RV-2AJ).

Practical exercises to clarify characteristics and typical behavior of the robot on a real 6-axis articulated robot (RV-1A).

Exercise for using an image processing system (In-Sight 3000) for position detection, number determination, quality assurance and code reading.

Application to guidelines of machine safety using the example of the laser scanner PLS from SICK.

Projects:

Sorting task with the SCARA robot using the vision system In-Sight 5400 for position detection. Communication via Ethernet TCP / IP.

Processing and handling of Plexiglas plates with the RV-1A (6-axis articulated robot). The effector consists of an engraving cutter and suction gripper. With the engraving cutter lettering can be engraved in the Plexiglas plates. The font specification is done beforehand via an input mask on the PC (created with Visual Basic). Communication via Ethernet TCP / IP.
