IGM ROBOTERSYSTEME AG

More than 40 years experience in the development of welding robots and planning of production plants appear in a extensive range of system modules. The main module is the igm robot series RTE 400. Benefits, typical for igm robots: Outstanding programming techniques with both the K6 programming teach pendant and the offline teaching system. Large work zone and perfect welding access to seam positions due to an optimal axes geometry and mounting of the welding torch in the wrist axis, implemented as a hollow shaft. All cables are inside the robot arms using hollow shafts. The particular features of the RTE 400 modular robot system are the extremely slim robotic arms, optimized for weight and rigidity. For axes 2 and 4 there are available different lengths, the right range of movement can be selected for any application. The highly dynamic, maintenance-free AC servo motors and outstanding characteristics of the joint construction of rigid cast aluminium guarantee a high rotational...

Concept of RCE control system The control system is a fully digital controlled system. This means there are only digital signal processors (DSP) involved in the entire control system and not any analogue electronic component. All the components of the control system (such as control cabinet, welding power source, each axis and the teach pendant) are linked by a digital bus system. A full digital robot control system brings the following advantages: No influence by any environmental disturbance like inductive fields of welding cables Quickest response time by fastest bus connection > smooth motion of robot Absolute reproducibility of welding result > highest consistency in welding quality Easy diagnosis possibilities of the entire robot control system > less skills and no special instruments for diagnosis are necessary By using modular drive technology and standard PC components a high reliability is guaranteed and the ability to remain constantly at the cutting edge of...

The ISDES integrated on the control system offers the possibility to record, monitor and evaluate the parameters decisive for the quality as well as the operationally relevant data. isdes embedded functions directly integrated into the...

Operational availability of the robot installation for production is increased by using an off-line system for generating robot programs. While saving time, programs may be prepared more conveniently in an office environment and simulation test runs (accessibility, computation of cycle time) may be performed. Collisions of the robot with the workpiece or fixtures may be detected at an early stage. Offline programming - Online working Simple robot programming is available through the self developed PC-based off-line programming system, using the original software of the robot control system and the teach pendant K6. Offline programming involves work piece oriented programming in 3D mode using a PC and simulation software. The workpiece is first imported into the programming system as 3D-CAD geometry, then the movements of the robot are determined. For path generation and definition of the processing parameters, a number of automatic functions as well as data bases stored in the...
