MELFA Industrial Robots

VersatilitySmall robots have been used in more than 30,000 applications in widely differing fields since 1978 – and what is more they work around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Innovative designMitsubishi Electric’s high-performance robots are the result of market-leading technology combined with carefully planned design. For example, locating pneumatic hoses and signal cables in the robot body reduces the complexity and cost of connecting grippers and sensors and increases operational reliability.

The high-precision Harmonic Drive transmission helps to provide exceptional repeatability performance.

Intelligent metal construction and twin-arm structure give the robots particularly high rigidity and precision.

All the gripper hands of the articulated-arm robots conform to the ISO 9409-1 standard.

A very compact design takes up minimum space for applications in cramped quarters.

Simple programmingA powerful range of robots needs an equally powerful and user-friendly programming interface. Mitsubishi Electric’s RT ToolBox2 and MELFA WORKS packages are powerful programming and simulation software tools tailored precisely for the needs of your robots.

MELFA Industrial Robots

Compact and economicalCompact mounting and an availability of 99.9 % with the highest quality are the most important factors for any application.

Network capabilitiesNetwork connections like Ethernet, ProfiBus, ProfiNet, DeviceNet and CC-Link make it easy to integrate Mitsubishi Electric robot controllers in to larger systems, providing users with access to every step of the process.

Flexibility

PackagingHigh-performance and flexibility are a matter of course for MELFA robots. It goes equally without saying that all Mitsubishi Electric automation components can be incorporated. These include additional axes, PLC controllers and operating terminals. Furthermore, cameras can be connected and robots synchronised with conveyor belts. These functions enable packaging tasks to be carried out reliably, quickly and continuously.

Electronics and mechanical engineeringMitsubishi Electric provides a wide range of products from parallel-arm robots for the micro assembly of miniature components to fully sealed articulated arm robots. There are no applications which are not suitable for MELFA robots. Whether cleanroom or dirty, oily and dusty environments, the product range always includes the right robot for your application.

TrainingLearning from practical experience – a goal which can be achieved in a training environ-ment with the compact, lightweight MELFA robots. Simple programming, simulation options and experienced teachers make entry into the field of robotics easy.

No limits – thanks to standard real-time interfaces and simple programming, MELFA robots provide all sorts of options for using the robots as manipulators, even for com-plex university research projects.

Technical features

The technology in detail

More safetyThe DIN ISO-10218 safety standard is com-mon to all robots and therefore guarantees safe operation in all applications. Mitsubishi Electric’s supplementary product range including safety controllers enables the robots to be integrated into a common safety concept. Ready-made example pro-jects make it possible for anyone to put together even complex systems quickly and effectively.

Sensor-controlled robots with image processingMitsubishi Electric’s industrial robots can be connected to any object recognition camera system via the ethernet port or the robot controller’s RS232 interface. This enables static and moving parts to be detected with the correct positional information.

The possible uses of sensor-controlled robots in factory automation are manifold. They range from component assembly via quality control and the reworking of workpieces to the location and removal of objects from a conveyor belt.

F-Q Series – full PLC functionality in the robotAs robots are never installed on a stand-alone basis, the system must be easy to integrate into its working environment to enable it to communicate with PLC and motion systems as well as operating panels and other systems. Together with the modu-lar robot CPU, the Mitsubishi Electric iQ Plat-form provides the ideal basis for integrating the full functionality of a PLC into the robot controller – once again demonstrating the company’s role as a pioneer in automation technology.

Technical features

Ethernet

Simple integration into complex applicationsUp to eight additional axes can be con-nected directly to the robot controller with just one cable. Of these, two axes can be used as additional interpolating axes, e.g. as the seventh and eighth robot axis. The spe-cial feature compared with other systems is that all additionally connected axes can be programmed in exactly the same way as the robot, using the same Teach-Box or the standard RT ToolBox2 software. This avoids the additional expense of software, training and programming.

More efficient monitoring and maintenance functionsDirect connection of the company’s infra-structure GOT operating terminal via Ethernet opens up a number of monitor-ing, control and maintenance functions for the robot. The correction of taught points, the backup and restore function, the entry of production data, and the selection and control of processes are just some of the options provided by the Mitsubishi Electric operating terminal in conjunction with MELFA robots.

Open communication for PC connectionThe robot controller can be connected to an MES system, for example for easily and quickly changing manufacturing sequences without stopping production.

Furthermore, the robot can be initiated for any kind of movement in real time. Flexible and complex movements, which are gener-ated graphically on the PC, for example, can be realised in this way.

High-performance industrial robots also require high-performance software. For this reason, more and more automation engineers are opting for the versatile and convenient Mitsubishi Electric software. All tasks, such as the creation of projects, pro-gramming and simulation, are implemented intuitively and mesh perfectly with one another. This results in optimum movement sequences in the shortest possible installa-tion and commissioning time.

Controller specifications

Powerful controller

Every robot system has its own compact, modular robot controller, which contains the CPU and the power electronics for controlling the robot.

Mitsubishi Electric’s robot controllers have a particularly slim, compact design. No matter which Mitsubishi robot you use the programming language and options are always the same. You can add special application functions by inserting expansion option cards in the slots in the controllers. Therefore it is possible, to integ-rate the controller into different types of networks.

All controllers have already implemented functions like Ethernet and USB connection, additional axes control over SSCNETIII and tracking encoder interface as a standard.

The control unit CR750 also includes the input and output card for the connection of a pneumatic or electric gripper.

Connection cables

A variety of different cables are available for connecting the control and status monitor-ing signals of the gripper tools.

When the pneumatic gripper is used you need to monitor the position of the gripper.

You should thus always connect a gripper signal input cable when you use the pneu-matic gripper. One end of the cable set is fitted with a plug for the gripper’s sensor signals. The other end is without connect-ors and can be wired as required for your system.

The connection to your system

Choose additional components to config-ure the optimal interface between the robot system and your application. The wide range of options makes it possible to configure the robot precisely for the individual requirements of your application.

The connectors listed in the following table can be used for making your own cables for the gripper input and output signals (see also the table above).

Sample program

The sample program below is for a pick-and-place operation. The input signal M_IN(8) tells the program that there is a workpiece in position P1. When a work-piece is present the input signal is set to 1 and the pick-and-place operation is per-formed. The workpiece is picked up from position P1 and deposited in position P2. If no workpiece is present the robot remains in the retracted position P_SAFE.

Easy-to-Learn MELFA-BASIC IV/V Programming language

Mitsubishi Electric robots are controlled with programs written in the powerful MELFA BASIC IV/V programming language. In addition to the familiar standard BASIC instructions and constructs like FOR … NEXT and GOTO, MELFA BASIC IV/V also has some extensions required for robots, including additional data types, instruc-tions for movement and gripper control and I/O instructions. The familiarity of standard BASIC makes it easy for beginners

to get started with robot programming.Despite its simplicity and short learning curve, MELFA BASIC IV/V is a powerful language that can be used to create very complex robot programs.

Programming

Robot programs are written with the MELFA BASIC IV/V instructions with the help of a PC and the teaching box. The positions are defined with the teaching box and the actual program is written on the PC.

Programs are written using the RT Toolbox2 programming and project managing software or the CIROS programming software for industrial robots. You can find more information about the programming software on the following pages..
