1.FORCE TORQUE CONTROL / SENSOR COMMUNICATION
Choosing from a wide range of KUKA signal processing software may be a small expansion for your robot, but it opens up a lot of opportunities for your production. This allows your robot to not just blindly follow the incoming instructions, but to be able to adjust sensitively and flexibly to different environmental conditions with the help of sensors. You can freely check the type of sensor according to your specific requirements. Whether using a camera, a laser scanner or a force/torque sensor: KUKA software processes the incoming signals and derives the corresponding robot commands quickly, reliably and purposelessly. Then it can complete the process flow that is both excellent and sensitive and mobile, saving a lot of time and production costs.
2.KUKA.ForceTorqueControl
With the KUKA.ForceTorqueControl skill set, you can influence the forces and moments in the machining process to increase the quality of your robot application and the safety of your machining process. When the software is combined with a force/torque sensor, the robot has a sense of touch. In this way, the robot reacts to external forces and moments in a sensory and active manner, and applies the programmed forces and moments on the workpiece.
3.KUKA.RobotSensorInterface
With the software KUKA.RobotSensorInterface, the robot can be used to influence the robot's movements or program processes with the help of sensor data. The data and signals of the sensor system can be read from the fieldbus, processed in the context of RSI, and transmitted to the robot control system. It is also possible to optionally exchange data via XML strings over Ethernet.
4.KUKA.Ethernet KRL XML
KUKA. EthernetKRL XML is available in KUKA. With RobotSensorInterface, a non-periodic Ethernet connection is provided between the robot control system and up to nine external systems (e.g. sensors). The data is transmitted via the Ethernet TCP/IP protocol in the form of XML strings. The received data is stored in a buffer during transmission so that the information is not lost.
5.ROBOTEAM
With the RoboTeam package, you can collaborate as a team with up to 15 robots with fast synchronized trajectory movements. In this way, the robot can work faster, more sensitive, and more advanced than before. With the help of the collaborative operation of robots, manufacturers can adopt the best equipment and operation room layout, shorten the production line, and reduce the cost of equipment and equipment. After load distribution, the load carrying capacity of general robots can be increased exponentially sensitively. Perhaps the workpiece can already be machined during the transfer to the next machine station, and then the non-productive delivery time is shortened. KUKA. Another advantage of RoboTeam's functionality: Each robot retains its standard control device, which is connected to a high-speed LAN (Ethernet) through which the control system communicates and synchronizes with each other. The programming of RoboTeam groups is done in a convenient and easy-to-understand way by inserting the form directly into the form, which includes all the command parameters and eliminates incorrect inputs.
6.KUKA.CR.ProgramCooperation
The software option KUKA.CR.ProgramCooperation supports the synchronization and monitoring of programs along with the scope of the operation. With the help of KUKA.CR.ProgramCooperation, traditional, central PLC functions such as work area locking, program step synchronization and program process synchronization are integrated directly into the robot team. In this way, all the tasks directly involved in the robot team are also undertaken by the software alone. By setting up synchronization markers together, it is possible to complete the program process of multiple robots to synchronize with each other at any time. The process control of the complete machining program is also distributed within the networked robot team. At this point, each robot in the team is able to start a machining program at the other robot or wait for one to be completed. In many cases, there is no need to use an external PLC, which significantly reduces the cost of the production unit.
7.KUKA.CR.MotionCooperation
The software option KUKA.CR.MotionCooperation supports the geometrical coupling of the trajectories and transport of several robots. This makes it possible to complete modern assembly line production and guarantees a significantly shorter cycle time. For example, geometrically coupled robots are highly sensitive, able to solve all transfer operations in the scope of heavy-duty transfers, and can ensure that the unstable workpiece is positioned in the best possible process. Again, this function allows the machining process and material transport to work in parallel. The partnership is dynamic, and the composition of the team can be changed sensitively as it goes. Depending on the production mission, the guidance of the movement together can be carried out by different robots within the RoboTeam team. Changes to the trajectory or speed function of each robot in the team immediately affect all participating robots without the slightest delay. All safety-critical signals, such as emergency shutdown and operator protection equipment signals, are also quickly communicated within the robot team via an internal safety bus system. The synchronization of the robot is very fast, and even in the event of an emergency shutdown, the deceleration section can be operated in coordination without affecting production.
8. SAFE ROBOT TECHNOLOGY
KUKA's Safe Robot Technology prevents the robot from running out of its confined work area – without the need for mechanical axis range monitoring equipment or specially reinforced valuable protective fences. This is done by placing safety-related control tasks directly into the robot's control system, thus eliminating the need for an external safety PLC, which is commonly used. Together, this also improves the security of the device. In the case of conventional central safety systems, the reaction time and the associated braking interval are determined by the communication and cycle time of the PLC system, so they are relatively long. In contrast, the reaction time is shorter when using the KUKA Safety Robot skill, because any safety-related reactions are directly controlled by the robot's safety device component. In this way, the robot braking interval is significantly shortened, and the robot can then be brought closer to the robot when the protective device is placed. The device components that monitor the safety function have built-in redundant safety skills. A number of routine inspections are carried out during the start-up and operation of the plant components to ensure trouble-free functioning.
9.KUKA.SafeOperation
KUKA. The SafeOperation function is used within the scope of Safe Robot Technology to supply and monitor safety-related software and hardware components that restrict and monitor the robot's work area and protection area. As a result, mechanical axis range monitoring devices become redundant. The safety function meets the requirements of ISO 13849-1 Class 3 functional class d. KUKA. SafeOperation monitors the speed and acceleration of robot axes and additional axes. In order to carry out three-dimensional monitoring of the robot, there are up to seven Cartesian spaces (Cartesian coordinate systems) for use, which can be equipped as protection areas or operation areas according to needs. An additional speed of safety monitoring can be specified for each work area. An auxiliary Cartesian coordinate system is used to indicate the orientation of the fence. The monitoring of the Cartesian coordinate interval is also based on the robot's tools, and it can be equipped with three different tools. The safe abortation of the drive with the drive activated, the space-independent global speed monitoring and the reliable reporting of the robot's position at the moment complete the functionality of the KUKA Safety Robot Skills. The monitoring can be activated or deactivated via the dual-channel input or via the safety bus system depending on the production process. KUKA. SafeOperation opens up new and cost-effective possibilities for the equipment of production units and human-robot collaboration. The need for equipment on the site is significantly reduced, and the protection equipment can be limited to this reduction.
After a safe abort, the drive device is still controlled in a "shutdown situation" when the robot is in a "shutdown situation". Robot restarts are monitored for safety. This enables human-robot collaboration that is optimised at all times: For example, when loading the unloading table manually, the operator can place the parts directly into the robot gripper at short intervals.
