1.1 Product Introduction

Fully-Auto dispensing robot control system is a high quality and high-resolution program method. The basic configuration has 3 motion axes, and is capable of supporting hi-speed USB storage. There are various versions of robot, such as a version capable of controlling dual-Y-axis bench, a version with a revolving head 4 th (R) axis, and a version supporting 8 needle tips. In addition, our system provides easier programming instructions, more parameters, a more effective flow control capability, larger memory space, and higher speeds. It improves the process for auto applications.

flash disk CorelDraw or AutoCAD, and can be opened, imported, and edited with Logoshop. It is the intermediate file output by Logoshop, which can be imported into the teach pendant by USB disk (FAT format). It can also be exported from teach pendant. Teaching files are saved in the teach pendant, including the files downloaded to the teach pendant with USB flash disk. Teaching file is composed by points list. Each file contains up to 65535 points. Teach pendant can store up to 999 teaching files. Process files are stored in MPC6536 controller. Each process file can be up to 2M. MPC6536 can store up to 128 process files. Configuration file. This file cannot be recognised by MPC6536 directly. It should be converted to .mol format after being edited by experienced engineer. Files with. mol format are converted from .cfg files or directly from drawings. It can be recognised by MPC6536 and can be processed directly. Mol formatted files can be downloaded with a FAT formatted USB flash disk when MPC6536 is started. Teach Pendant MPC05 Controller PC/ USB flash disk PC/ USB flash disk PC/ USB flash disk

Polyline is composed of multiple lines and arcs, which is widely used for track

process. The start point of Polyline is called “LineStart”, the end point of polyline is

called “LineEnd”, the remaining point of arc and line are called “ArcMid” and “LineMid”.

Theoretically, any graphics can be expressed as a combination of lines and arcs.

1.4.4 Parameters

Parameter

Description

Work Speed Move Speed

Work Speed refers to dispensing speed . Just as shown in Table 1-2(3,7) When the dispenser finishes dispensing a work, the nozzle will move to the next work to dispense. Move Speed refers to the speed at which the nozzle moves from the end point of the finished work to the next work. Just as shown in Table 1-2(1,5,10) When a dispensing work is finished, the nozzle will move upwards. Every time before dispensing a work, Z-axis will move downwards. The moving speed used for these processes are called Z Speed . Just as shown in Table 1- 2(2,4,6,9,11,12) The initial speed of movement ( Recommended value is thirty ） The acceleration of the movement from initial speed to high-speed The maximum acceleration when turning. The acceleration effective for a turning movement. Higher turning acceleration will cause a faster turning but a heavier mechanical shock the same time. Lower turning acceleration will lead to a smoother turning but slower turning. When the turning acceleration is set to be extremely low, a glue heap will be formed around the turning point.

Z Speed

Initial Speed Acceleration Corner Acceleration

Dispenser on delay When epoxy start, the dispenser will wait for a specified amount of time before starting moving. Dispenser off delay When epoxy completed, the dispenser will wait for a specified amount of time before retracting the glue tip. Off Distance Off Distance parameter is used to set the distance between the end point and the point where epoxy completed in advance automatically. Dispenser will complete the dispensing with the extruded residual glue on the tip.

Draw Height

When epoxy completed, it will retract a distance slowly at first to cut off the adhesive. The moving distance is called Draw Height. Open the glue tip when the nozzle has run some time. On distance parameter is the distance from the on-dispenser point to the start point. On distance function is used to prevent glue gathered at the beginning of time. “Draw” and “Lift” are two nozzle-retracting functions which can be used when dispensing high viscosity adhesive. When the nozzle is closed, it will retract a distance slowly at first to cut off the adhesive, and this process is call ‘Draw’. The moving speed is called Draw Speed.

3 Logoshop Programming

3.1 Introduction

Logoshop is a set of front-end designing software used in 3D motion control system,

the main goal of which is supplying front-end craft processing and route optimization for

control system, such as dispenser robot 、 laser cut machine.

3.2 Begin To Use

3.2.1 Interface Layout

Similar with other CAD and graphics software, the main interface of Logoshop is

drawing area, above which is menu item and tool bar , the left of which is drawing tools ,

the right of which is craft parameters , below of which is status information . See below:

Fig. 3-1 Logoshop Interface

36

3.2.2 Set Default Parameters

These parameters are used for controlling appearance of drawing table, such as

colour, font, and habits, reactions of drawing table to mouse, key board. You can choose

“tool”- “default parameters” from menu item, then there would be pop-up windows of

“system parameter configuration”, the first page of which is used for parameters of drawing

table, the second page of which is used for parameters of motion parameters, the third page

of which is used for parameters of technical parameters.
