The screen of the pendant is the interface of the IML robot from where the operator will operate and program the IML robot. In this chapter we'll introduce how to program and set the parameters of the IML robot. Below the interface of the IML robot after powering and system loading for your reference:
Toggle the knob in the upper left corner of the handset to MANU, and the interface is as follows:
(1)Axis operation
A list of the functions of each button on the screen:
| No | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Current profile name | Click the name of the file currently in use to enter the file management page, and upload, download, read, save, overwrite, compare, and delete the file management. |
| (2) | Alarm display | If the alarm is currently in the alarm state, the icon is read, click to view the alarm details. |
| (3) | User level | The current user level is displayed, click to switch users 1/2/3/4 (Operator/technician/manager/highest level) and change the password of each user. |
| (4) | System time | Displays the current date and time. Click to modify the settings. |
| (5) | Speed display | Current manual speed/automatic speed display. Click to modify the speed. |
| (6) | Language display | The current system displays a language icon. Click to switch the screen display language. |
| (7) | Ribbon buttons | For other function entries, click to select View to modify. |
| (8) | Running mode display | The curreent operating mode display (Origin/manual/automatic) can be switched via the knob in the upper left corner of the teach pendant. |
| (9) | Axis operation | Enter the default axis operation page of the system, and you can switch to the (13) IO operation (14) axis display page. |
| (10) | I/O operation | Click to enter the IO operation interface, which can display the input ON/OFF status in real time, and the ON/OFF of each output point. |
| (11) | Axis representation | On the axis display interface, when you use the right button to operate the axis, you can observe the real-time status of the origin, limit, brake, current position, axis torque, and speed. |
| (12) | Axis operation buttons | Switch with the main and jib of (8) and (9) and click to move each axis. |
| (13) | Perspective switching | When the shaft is operated through (15), the angle of view is switched, and it is convenient to compare with the actual machine. |
| (14) | Speed switching | Click to switch the manual running speed, which is divided into five gears:0.1/1.0/low/medium/high, note that you cannot use the 0.1/1.0 scale to move the shaft without returning to the original point. |
| (15) | Free, manual operation | Free operation: The jog of each axis can be controlled individually by pressing the buttons. Manual operation: control each axis to move to a fixed point by pressing a button. |
(2) I/O operation
A list of each annotation function on the screen:
| No. | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Page switching | Switching pages of the Input display. |
| (2) | Page switching | Switching pages of the Output button. |
| (3) | Output button | Press and hold the safety enable switch on the back of the teach pendant, and then click each button to switch the output ON/OFF. |
| (4) | Input Display | ON/OFF display of input signals. |

What's a Smart Factory and How Would a Smart Factory Designed?
With the increasing labour cost globally, more and more injection molding factory owners are looking for solutions of a smart factory. But what would be a smart factory looks like and how to design a smart factory? The newly posted video of Haitian group in their Youtube account is a good reference of what would be a smeart factory.
In the video above we can find something in comman of what a smart factory would be. First of all there's a centralized feeding system from which the material for all the injection molding machines are delivred; In this factory all the parts produced are collected and transported to another workshop via a conveyor. What would be in behind these injection molding machines and conveyors to support the running of the smart factory?
The MES system (Manufacturing Execution System) would be a vital part of a smart factory which will monitor the production process of the parts, just in time mangaement of the machineries, products quality control and resources following up. The samrt factory would be smart solution to help the factory owners to reduce the labour cost.
Although sounds great, but the smart factory is not as suitable for the small and medium size producers whom will change the mould frequently. As an information technology based production, the smart factory is an integration of the software and the hardware. It may be easy to change the parameter of the software, but would be a nightmare to have the hardware changed to match the new system.
Cooperating with LESSO group in building up their smart factory for pipe fittings production, SWITEK is experienced in supply robots with protocol for MES and other smart factory system. For more details about the injection robot for the smart factory sytem, please contact Adams from SWITEK, your personal consultant of injection robot selection.
