Abstract

With the IML control system designed "Easy to operate", we can program the robot by selecting the standard programs and have it inserted into the program step by step. Here in this chapter we're introducing the setting of the axis positions of the IML robot.

Position setting

No	Name	Function
(1)	Position selection	Click to select the point you want to set.
(2)	Main-arm selection	Click to switch to the two axes of the main arm, and cooperate with the button (7) to move the axis.
(3)	Sub-arm selection	Click to switch to the two axes of the jig, and cooperate with the button (7) to move the shaft.
(4)	Current position memory	Click the icon to set the current position of the axis to the point (after returning to the original point).
(5)	Point set point	(1) select the point and set the value. Click to make a changes.
(6)	Current axis position	The current position of the axis is displayed.
(7)	Manual speed setting	Manual speed setting

Steps to set the point:

Slect the point you want to set in (1).
Select (2) main-arm or (3) sub-arm.
Select the manual movement speed at (8). Manually operate the target axis and move it to the target point via the button (7) + safety enable button (the position can be fine-tuned by the scale file).
Use the position memory button at (4) to record the point to set the value at (5).
Re-select the point at (1) and set the next point.

Position corrections

No	Name	Function
(1)	Axis position	Automatically click to switch to the axis position modification
(2)	Axis Speed	Automatically click to switch to the axis speed modification
(3)	Page	Flip up and down to switch points
(4)	Position (Modifiable)	The white point can be clicked automatically for fine-tuning.
(5)	Position (not modifiable)	Gray point, cannot be modified

This page is mainly used for an overview of the points set by the location, and when it is automatic, you can click on the point at (4) to fine-tune it.

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

What Would be a Preferable Mould Layout Design for a Petri Dish Packing System?

SWITEK is now providing two kinds of solutions for Petri dish packing, one is a packing system with top entry picking robot and the other is a system with a side entry picking robot. The petri dish producer can decide which solutions is better according to the layout design of the workshop.

SWITEK Petri Dish Packing System

Traditionally the mould layout design for the Petri dish production will have the top and base integrated into the same mould which could be 2 + 2, 4 + 4 or 8 + 8 with the cover to the top of the mould. The cover on top design is preferable to an automation system of Petri dish packing.

For an automation system of Petri dish packing, the best is to have a turn-key solutions of Petri dish packing of which SWITEK will have the whole system well tested before delivery to ensure that the automation system which you received is a ready to work one to reduce the cost of sytem start up.
