The powerful, integrated functions are available for all types of robot and thus provide machine producers with access to new possibilities to reduce production cycle times and enhance process quality. Processing of moving workpieces Efficient tracking functions are in great demand, in order that cycle times can be kept to a minimum. The efficient KeMotion rail and Cartesian tracking functions enable robots to pick up and process all types of moving parts. 8 Source: Dürr KeMotion MFB x x x x x x x x x x - - - - - - - - - - x x x x...

Drive control with torque feed forward control Movements at the fringe of physical limits A dynamic robot model integrated into KeMotion provides the continuous calculation of the torques occurring in each drive during operation. The dynamics of the robot are adapted accordingly, which has numerous positive effects: • Long robot life through adherence to limits at all times • Cycle time gains through the optimum use of physical limits • High path precision through the minimization of contouring errors • Cost savings through optimum robot design Problem-free mastery of complex processes...

10 KeMotion’s performance range also contains robot functions such as synchronous pointto- point movements and flexible working area monitoring. Motion function blocks according to PLCopen are available for the exact control of individual axes. Realization of all robot movements The highly effective KAIRO robot command set is available from the KeMotion PTP software package. In combination with powerful types of robot interpolation, this allows the realization of any type of application. Synchronized point-to-point interpolation, which facilitates the fastest possible workpiece...

Integration of the machine control In addition to highly efficient robot control functions, the PLC and the motion function blocks can be utilized for the control of the entire machine. Elements such as flying saw, electronic cams and line shafts are available for this purpose and these allow precise movements even in the case of highly dynamic, multi-axial applications. Improved machine protection Freely programmable working and blocking area definition establishes where and where not robots may move. Subsequently, forbidden movements are reliably prevented by the controls before a...

KeMotion not only constitutes a robot control system, but also a fully-fledged PLC that can be programmed according to IEC 61131-3. This allows the development of control functions in a programming language with which the machine operator is familiar. Moreover, the combination of a PLC and robotic functions facilitates the use of a greatly simplified machine concept. 12 Simple and efficient PLC programming KeMotion is based on the extensively used CoDeSys market standard and offers versatile programming. All standardized PLC programming languages can be used with the integrated PLC: •...

13 Effective savings The PLC runs parallel to the robot system in the KeMotion controls, specific functional modules providing perfect interaction between both systems. The close linkage between the PLC and the robot controls means that whether for the activation of robot peripherals or the extension of control functions, the delay-free exchange of events between both units is guaranteed, thus facilitating rapid access to robot programming. The additional expenditure on cabling and communications needed in the case of separate robot controls is therefore superfluous. Central control of...
