With the spread of industrial robots in the production site, more and more on-site issues need to be solved, such as the need for more robot programming engineers, which increases the human cost; The teaching is complicated, which increases a lot of non-production time; Set up guardrails to increase the cost of space and installations; The connection and setting of the robot and the peripheral equipment are complex, which increases the device and protection time; In addition, it is necessary to ensure a safe distance between the robot and the workers at the production site.
On May 20, 2020, Mitsubishi Electric simultaneously announced a new product, the collaborative robot MELFA ASSISTA, in Japan and China, which perfectly addresses many traditional robot application field issues. The new cobot arm is equipped with a dedicated operation button and an LED to display the status of the robot, and is equipped with the programming software "RT VisualBox") that can easily introduce and debug the robot's programming equipment, further improving the production power at the production site, reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) and contributing to solving the new problem of maintaining a safe separation between the robot and the operator at the production site.
Assist+A=Assista
Anyone is simple enough for anyone to use
Anytime is instantaneous, and the automation is perfect
Anywhere can be equipped with mobile devices such as AGVs without space constraints
Advantage 1: Programming is simpler
The newly developed programming thing RT VisualBox can easily create a program of the robot system through simple and intuitive operation using block diagrams, making the setup and debugging of this robot easier.
Peripheral devices such as robot grippers and cameras are easier to connect and set up, and proven robot grippers and cameras can be connected and set up more easily through RT VisualBox. The number and scope of partners is constantly expanding.
Reduction of man-hours for program development, planning, and system protection management
Advantage 2: Dedicated teaching operation button
Through the special operation button mounted on the robot arm, the teaching work of the robot (recording and reproducing the action) is completed, and the teaching pendant is no longer required.
The number of operations required for teaching work is reduced to a minimum, and even unskilled workers can easily complete the setup in a short time.
Advantage 3: LED light display status
The LED light mounted on the robot arm shows the operating status. Workers around the robot can grasp the robot's condition at a glance and create a co-located work environment.
There is no longer a need for special peripherals to show the operation status of the robot.
MELFA ASSISTA, A SMART PRODUCTION CENTER DEVICE
Mitsubishi Electric's new cobot MELFA ASSISTA complies with the global standard ISO 10218-1 General Safety Requirements for Industrial Robots (Part 1) and the technical specifications for ISO/TS 15066 collaborative robots. In addition, a collaborative robot using NSF H1 certified grease for food machinery has been added. In line with the world standard ISO 10218-1 and ISO/TS 15066, it is possible to build a system that eliminates the need for robot safety guardrails based on the customer's risk assessment, saving space.
MELFA ASSISTA fully considers the on-site application in the planning, which facilitates better cooperation between the on-site operators and robots around the robot, safely and effectively improves the production power, reduces TCO, and builds an automated and intelligent production unit centered on industrial robots, so as to help customers improve their comprehensive value.

Mitsubishi PLC writes the holding circuit
There is a very common kind of circuit in Mitsubishi PLC - the persistence circuit. The insistence circuit means that when the external input switch is a button, it can be pressed through the insistence circuit to press the button to insist on the output, similar to the self-locking in the electrical diagram. Let's take Mitsubishi PLC as an example to write a sticking circuit.
