ROBOT SAFETY GUARDING

As protection in the danger area a safety guarding is attached on the machine.
At safety guardings with access demand the protection door can only be opened after the key
for access demand has been actuated and the access allowance is granted (Key for access
demand lights).
EMERGENCY STOP button outside
Key with lamp for access demand
EMERGENCY STOP
button inside
Acknowledgement key with key actuation
In automatic mode the operator actuates the key to demand access before opening the safety
guarding door (key flashes). As a result the machine interrupts the cycle after the part has
been taken from the injection mold. In the standard case, the robot stops all movements after
the take-off of the injection molded part (depending on the setting in the sequence editor). The
Access demand keyswitch on the door lights up, indicating that access is allowed and that the
door is unlocked.
On safety guardings without access demands, the protection door can always be opened. As
a result the robot stops all movements immediately.
Before opening the safety guarding door and entering the guarded area, remove the
acknowledgement key and take it with you.
WARNING!
The acknowledgement key must always be with the person who is inside
the safety guarding, in order to prevent any unintentional acknowledgement of the safety guarding and starting of the machine!
The safety guarding may only be acknowledged if all personnel and foreign objects are out of the danger area!
After opening the safety guarding door, all robot movements are blocked.
In set-up mode, up from the access authorization 5, by simultaneous pressing the consent key
and the respective pushbutton on the hand held control unit, the robot movements can be
executed with an open safety guarding door and/or open clamp unit safety gate.
DANGER!
Working below movable components, e.g. the Y-axis, is forbidden!
During robot movements, the work envelope of the robot must not be
entered or reached into!
After leaving the danger area, the operator can acknowledge the safety guarding door with the
key-operated switch, immediately after closing the door. The door is then locked again.
27
Version: G/11/401/1/11
In automatic mode the next cycle start occurs by actuating the start button on the control panel.
The robot cycle begins with the depositing of parts.
Note!
The safety guarding door is unlocked automatically and can be opened in case of an EMERGENCY STOP.
The protection door can only be acknowledged again when the EMERGENCY STOP condition
has been eliminated.
After switching on the control voltage there must also occur an acknowledgement. As long as
the protection door is not acknowledged, the following message appears:
Open-close-acknowledge robot safety gate <No.>

Robot safety gate <No.> open
impact
All movements are blocked
removal
Open - close safety gate and acknowledge with the key-operated

keyswitch within 5 seconds
The acknowledgement must occur within 5 seconds, but not before 0.05 seconds after closing
the protection door.
The acknowledgement key must not be actuated too long (maximum of 10 seconds) either. If
these conditions are not fulfilled, the corresponding message is displayed:
Robot safety gate <No.>: Acknowledgement key not actuated

too long
Reason
Protection door has not been acknowledged within 5 seconds

BASIC ROBOT SETTINGS

The standard pages serve the comfortable operation and control of the robot and the rapid
setting of the predefined sequence variants.
QUICK SETUP
This page contains basic settings and functions of the robot, such as work area settings,
turning limits, swivelling limits, moving limits, group and individual configurations for vacuum/
compressed air.
NOTICE!
These settings must be configured immediately after mounting a mold to
mitigate the danger of collision. To do this, mount the end of arm tooling
that matches the mold!

Work area settings
Machine area
The machine area is the whole theoretical moving area of the robot within the injection
molding machine. This defined room is switched with a safety condition depending on
the mold position. The machine area defines the whole blocking area of the plant and is
preset on the part of the factory.
Take-off area
Work area in machine area for part take-off. To access a mold without danger of
collision, a take-off area must be defined for each mold. This must be determined with
a completely open mold. Never set values for the take-off area that cause danger of
collision for the mold! The take-off area is thus a mold-driven traversing area for the
robot when the mold is open, and lies within the machine area. This area must be
modified for each new mold you use.
Depositing area Z+
A setting of the work area depositing area Z+ limits the maximum depositing area of the
operator rear side corresponding to the set parameters. The limitation of the depositing
area enables the safeguarding of the whole depositing area with only few work areas.

Home position movement with parts

With switched-on program switch the outputs of the vacuum/compressed air do not
switch off at the movement to home position if these should still be active. E.g. at inserts.
Equipment type
The configured safety package and the take-off sequence are displayed here.
This field is factory set and is for information purposes only.
Take-off movement
The following program switches can be set as a function of the constructional plant execution,
of the configured safety package and of the allowed take-off type. The chosen setting
influences the work areas and the robot standard variants (Take-off, depositing,...).
Take-off movement
Allowed take-off movement
Vertically and horizontally
Take-off movement
Vertical
Vertical
The robot moves into and out of the mold from above = vertically (e.g.: injection molding
machine with tiebars).
The closing release for the mold is given when the Y-axis is above (Y-reference switch
or Y-waiting position switch actuated).
Horizontal
The robot moves into and out of the mold laterally = horizontally (e.g.: tiebarless
injection molding machine).
The closing release for the mold is given when the robot has left the take-off area (Zreference switch not actuated and/or Z-position >= home position).
Vertically in/Horizontally out

The robot will move from the top (vertically) into the mold, and to the side (horizontally)
out of the mold (can save cycle time, depending on your application).
The closing release occurs like at Take-off horizontal.

the robot, until the switch is disabled. The switch can also be actuated in automatic
mode.
Robot test run without machine

When the program switch is activated, the roboter sequence is started without the
injection molding machine sequence when the start key is pressed either in semi or fully
automatic mode.
On the injection molding machine, the mold must be open, the ejector retracted, and
any cores moved out.
At the test run the mold remains open and the required signals of the cores, ejector etc.
are simulated.
Block movements on the clamping unit at automatic start

If the program switch is activated when you switch to semi-automatic or fully automatic
mode, all mold, ejector, core movements, and air valve functions are locked. Individual
releases must be programmed in the robot sequence.

Version: G/11/401/1/11
Early start
Activates early start in the take-off sequence. The program switch and the early start
position are queried by the Wait for part acceptance releasesequence. To avoid
collisions, the sequence waits for Mold open , before accessing the take-off position
(the default is to wait until move-in position 2 has been reached). Moving-in positions 1
and 2 must be set to avoid collisions between the end of arm tooling and the mold.
Minimum mold position for early start and intermediate stop

This mold position limits the early start and intermediate stop position and therefore, is
a safety limitation for the mold area.
Early start position

The robot enters the machine area from this position onward.
Mold open on early start position

The active flag signals when the early start position is reached.
Take-off with mold intermediate stop

When this field is selected the mold intermediate stopp is activated. This is possible
after inserting the sequenz step Form open at robot start position in the machine
sequence.
Mold intermediate stop position

At this position mold opening stops to allow molded part take-off by the robot.

If this program switch is activated, the robot receives the pre-molding part take-off
release signal in the set pre-injection cycle (and/or with the Wait for part acceptance
releasesignal).
If the program switch is deactivated, the robot will not move in until the pre-molding
cycles have been completed.
Take-off for pre-molding cycle

In the pre-molding cycle the robot moves into the mold, e.g. to transfer the pre-molding
part to the cavity for finished part molding.

TAKE-OFF-DEPOSITING VARIANTS
Engel variants are preprogrammed sequences which can be included in the graphical
sequence. The parametrization occurs on the screen pages provided for this purpose.
The corresponding screen page is generated automatically after the change and storage in the
sequence editor.
ENGEL - TAKE-OFF VARIANTS

At all Engel variants the function Early start is possible. If the robot has parts on the takeover
head, it deposits at first the parts before the take-off (not at the Teach sample sequence!).
The following take-off variants
are preprogrammed:
Take-off Standard
This variant is preset at the delivery of the robot. It is an universal variant for many
application cases. Several program switches enable a simple and comfortable cycle
time optimization.
Moving in via 2 separate intermediate positions
Take over parts
Moving out via 2 separate intermediate positions
Take-off 6 positions
This variant is the same as the take-off standard, but does it not include any switches
for cycle time optimization.
This variant is for the most simple type of the take-off. Only the moving-in position
before opening and the take-off position must be set.
Moving in with Z > Y > X individual axis movements on take-off position
Take over parts, ejector returns in parallel with X take-off stroke
Moving out with X > Y > Z individual axis movements on position before opening (the
same path as moving in).
Take-off Teach sample sequence

Moving in via an intermediate position, moving out via 2 intermediate positions. This
take-off variant serves as model for a Teach sequence without screen switch.
CAUTION: At the Teach sample sequence Quick Setup settings for rotary, swivelling
and moving limits as well as settings for rotary axes are without effect when moving out
from the machine area and moving into the machine area!
120
1.1
Version: G/11/401/1/11
TAKE-OFF STANDARD
The standard take-off variant covers a majority of most different take-off requirements for
injection molded parts. It is programmed with two intermediate positions for moving-in and -out
and a demolding position. For the cycle time optimization program switches are provided.

Switch on suction pad

Switch on selection for sucker before or after the ejector is in front or when the robot
moves in.
Close sprue gripper before ejector advancing ejector

Allows the closing of the sprue gripper still before the ejector is advanced.
Move out as soon as part monitoring

Allows the moving-out of the robot still before the expiry of the demolding time when the
part monitoring gives the release.
Moving-out without ejector positioning

When switched on, the ejector returns in parallel to the moving-out of the robot.

Speed in take off area

Take-off Standard

If the program switch is activated, the position parameters for Home position are
automatically set equal to the parameters for Position before opening [See Robot
general settings on page 89.]
121
Version: G/11/401/1/11
This causes the robot to wait at its home position for the mold to open before taking off
a part.
If the switch is disabled, the robot waits at the Position before opening. When
automatic operations start, the robot moves from home position to Position before
opening.

Speed of the robot axes for moving to the position before opening.
The adjustable speed for the robot movement on the respective position is always valid
for the axis which runs the longest way. The other axes move correspongingly slower in
order that they reach the position at the same time.

INTERMEDIATE LAYERS
The intermediate layer program serves to separate individual grid layers using intermediate
layers (e.g. cartons). The parameters for picking up intermediate layers can be set in the
intermediate layer screen page. Settings for depositing intermediate layers can be set in the
Grid editor, intermediate layer tab. [See Tab - Intermediate layer on page 198.]

New search necessary

The flag is lit when it is uncertain if the stored position is correct when a malfunction or
system restart has occurred. You need to redetermine the pick-up position in this case.

Speed from lower swivelling limit to Search start position.

Starting at this position the robot travels at Speed intermediate layer search until the
stack height has been determined. After determining the stack height, the robot travels
away from this position at Magazine moving-in speed in the subsequent cycles.

Speed from Search start position to pick-up position of the last intermediate layer,
minus Search area before last saved position.

The robot travels away from Search start position at the speed set here to determine
the initial pick-up position.
In ongoing production, the robot will then move at this speed from the pick-up position
of the last intermediate layer minus Search area before last saved position.

The value is subtracted from the last known pick-up position. Starting at this calculated
position, the search move to the next intermediate layer starts.

This parameter delimits the search movement of the axis applying the set value. If this
value is overstepped, the robot stops and issues an error message indicating that the
magazine is empty.

GRAPHIC SEQUENCE EDITOR

The sequence editor is used to create and modify sequence programs for the complete
production machine. It visualizes the program sequences graphically from top to bottom and
is subdivided into subsequences to give operators a better overview.
In Teach mode , sequences/subsequences (= variants) can be replaced as of user level 5,
and created, modified or taught as of user level 7. Machine and robot movements occur at
reduced pressure and speed in this mode.
Engel defined sequences/subsequences are available for various applications. There is only
one user defined sequence/subsequence for every sequence/subsequence.

Robot empty sequence
Creating a completely new robot sequence. The robot is provided with a convenient
programming tool (Teach pointer). The last action to be performed using the manual
controller is automatically transferred to the sequence. This can be robot movements
and functions (e.g. vacuum/compressed air, barrel functions).
Ejector and core releases are also automatically programmed if you perform the
corresponding movement on the injection molding machine, and then transfer it to
the manual control unit.
Home position

The robot sequence mainly comprises a take-off sequence and conditional part depositing
sequences (rejects depositing, quality control part depositing, and part depositing). The
subsequences are processed step by step from the top down.
At the structure instruction If corresponding to the condition it is branched downwards or to
the right. The instruction Execute as long as automatic mode of operation active causes a
new start of the robot sequence as long as the automatic mode is active.
Disabled programs are crossed out in red in the sequence and are skipped.
Individual subsequences are indicated by an icon with a bold border, and can be opened by
pressing the + symbol. These subsequences can be broken down into further subsequences

EXCHANGE VARIANTS
Engel defined sequences/subsequences, referred to as Variants are available for various
applications. You can modify these sequences to reflect your requirements. A modified Engel
defined variant cannot be overwritten, but you can store it as a User defined variant.
If you modify an Engel defined variant, the user-defined variant of every modified sequence/
subsequence is overwritten.
You can only store one user defined sequence for each sequence/subsequence.
For applications such as sprue separation or intermediate deposit, a fully Engel defined Robot
sequence is available. These variants require corresponding hardware signals for monitoring.
The signals are optionally available as interface packages.
After inserting a variant of this type into the sequence, and then storing, the control unit will
display the corresponding setting parameters on the screen pages.
You can replace a variant and then store the sequence to display the modified sequence and
corresponding screen.
Note!
In the Variants view you can only select sequences/subsequences, but not commands.

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES
This refers to changing Engel and/or user-defined variants or programming of new sequences.
Sequence programming is only possible in the Sequence view which has a white background
in Teach mode.
A modified Engel defined variant cannot be overwritten, but you can store it as a User defined
variant.
Note!
Only one user-defined variant exists for each sequence. In other words, you must store each
user-defined sequence in a part record of its own. The sequence data can be loaded separately from the settings.
There are 2 basic types of sequence programming
Simple programming with the Teach pointer

If you perform a movement or action with the manual control unit, the corresponding
command is displayed on the manual control unit as a preview. The action is transferred
to the sequence when you press the
Transfer Teach command key on the
manual control unit. The Teach pointer automatically proceeds to the next step.
You can use the Teach pointer to program ejector and core movements as release
signals for the sequence.
When you quit Teach mode, the Teach pointer is automatically removed from the
editor.
Programming by manual command insertion

To program a sequence, select a command in the selection box and then insert the
command at the required position into the sequence.
You can insert any commands from the selection box into the sequence.
Note!
If you program a robot movement (linear and rotary axis) with the Teach pointer, a complete
robot position is always inserted, even if only one axis is moved. The control unit assumes the
current position for any axes which are not moved.
You may need to manually optimize the transition between one robot movement and the next,
as well as any parallel functions.
Various approaches to sequence programming
Extending an existing variant

Open the subsequence in question in the sequence editor and use the Teach pointer to
add additional commands at the desired position.
Or open the subsequence in question in the sequence editor and manually select the
commands in the selection box that you would like to insert at the required position.
Modifying an existing sequence

Open the subsequence in question in the sequence editor, delete any commands you
do not need and use the Teach pointer to insert the new commands.
Programming an empty sequence

Instead of an existing sequence, insert an Empty subsequence from the sequence
pool into the robot sequence and program this sequence to suit your requirements. You
can then name the sequence in the Sequence properties tab.
Creating and programming a new Teach variant

Insert a new Teach variant you have created into the sequence and then program the
153
Version: G/11/401/1/11
subsequence.
When you create a new variant, you can select an icon to match the variant.

ROBOT MOVE INSTRUCTIONS
Robot movements can occur with individual axes or parallel with several axes. There are 2
movement types:
On position
The position is approached exactly and afterwards the next instruction is executed
(Symbol with yellow background)
Start
The movement starts and the next command is performed(icon with green background).
Servoaxes smoove the movements from one position to the next.
NOTICE!
By changing a position instruction to a start instruction the following
movements or actions can be released early in parallel.
Parallel linear axis movements (X, Y, Z) always run so that they reach the set position at the
same time. The adjustable speed is always valid for the axis which moves the widest way. The
other axes move correspondingly slower.

Execute as long as
The instructions in the Execute as long as loop are

repeated until the programmed condition is no
longer fulfilled. The next instruction in the sequence
then starts. If the condition is not fulfilled when the
sequence reaches the Execute as long as condition, the sequence flow moves on to execute the
next instruction.
Repeat until
The instructions in the Repeat until loop are

repeated until the programmed condition is fulfilled.
The next instruction in the sequence then starts.
The instructions in the Repeat until loop are executed at least once, whether or not the condition is
fulfilled.
If
When condition {TRUE}, then branch I.

When condition {FALSE}, then branch 0.
Parallel open branch
In case of parallel open branch, the sequence does

not wait for the end of the parallel sequence.
Parallel closed branch
The parallel closed branch must be completed to be

able to start with the next sequential instruction in
the sequence.
Waiting time
Waits for available times from the robot or separate

time modules.
Wait for time or marker
Waits for available times from the robot, separate

time modules or markers.
Wait until
Waits until the condition is fulfilled.

4.7.2
EXECUTE AS LONG AS
The instructions in the Execute as long as loop are repeated while the programmed condition
is fulfilled. If the condition is not fulfilled when the program flow reaches the Execute as long
as condition, the instruction that follows the sequence starts immediately.

The instructions in the Repeat until loop are repeated until the programmed condition is
fulfilled. The next instruction in the sequence then starts. The instructions in the Repeat until
loop are executed at least once, whether or not the condition is fulfilled.
Example:
In an automatic sequence, you wish to start the additional peripheral unit subsequence at
least once, and then repeat the subsequence until Input 1 of User Package 1 is active.

PARALLEL OPEN BRANCH

You can use the parallel open branch to execute instructions in parallel.
In contrast to the Parallel closed branch, the movements in the Parallel open branch do not
need to be completed in order to start the next step in the Sequence Editor.
This instruction is cycle-overlapping.
Example:
After depositing the part on the conveyor-belt, the Y axis must have reached the lower swivelling limit. The peripheral unit must be stepped without waiting in the sequence.

CONDITION EDITOR
The condition editor serves to create logic condition expressions.
For a structure command such as If, Wait until etc., you need at least one condition, which
is programmed in the condition editor.
If you insert the If structure command into a sequence, or you double click on an If condition,
the condition editor is launched.
Two variable types are distinguished by the condition editor
5.1
Boolean variables
These are markers, program switches or digital inputs and outputs.
In case of Boolean variable types, only the states true and false are distinguished.
Non-Boolean variables
These are counters, current or set positions and values and they expect a number as
their parameter.

GRID TYPES
3 shot grids, 2 individual part grids and 2 Teach grids are available
1.1
SHOT GRID
The robot deposits all parts for a shot simultaneously, that is, all deposit vacuum/compressed
air circuits are switched off on the corresponding grid depositing positions.
Corresponding to number, distance and priority the shot grid arises from several cycles
(shots).
Example:
The robot uses separate vacuum/compressed air circuits to pick up both parts from a mold
with 2 cavities, and deposits the parts in the shot grid at the same time. In a grid layer the
robot deposits four shots with two parts each.

Distance
Distance between shots on the grid for linear servoaxes (X,Y,Z).
A positive value moves in the positive axis direction from the starting point, and a
negative value moves in the negative axis direction. The sign for the Y distance is set
automatically by the grid type.
Number
Number of shots the robot deposits/picks up in each axis direction.
Priority
Specifies the axis order in which the shots are deposited/picked up on the grid. The axis
with 1 has the highest priority.
Shot set
The set value is calculated by reference to the grid number values. You can change the
value manually to deposit/pick up a defined number of shots. The value must be smaller
than the calculated value. After reaching the set value, the grid is reset.
Actual shot
Actual value for shots deposited/picked up on the grid.

1.2
INDIVIDUAL PART GRID

The robot can use multiple vacuum/compressed air circuits to deposit individual shot parts at
separate depositing positions.
The number of depositing positions is derived from the number of vacuum/compressed air
circuits selected in the configuration.
Example:
A robot will use separate vacuum/compressed air circuits to pick up each part from a mold
with 2 cavities. Each part is deposited on its own depositing position on the individual parts
grid to ensure optimum use of space. In a grid layer the robot deposits four shots with two
parts each.
Advantage: No Teach grid required. The individual parts grid is simple to configure.

PARTS SEQUENCE
In the Teach grid sequence you can program an individual part sequence for each part in a
shot.
The first instruction in the part sequence starts when the sequence reaches the Teach grid x
instruction in the robot sequence.
You must use the Robot movement with grid move instruction for the depositing position in
the part sequence. This tells the robot to rasterize this position only when depositing injection
molding parts as specified in the Grid Editor. Do not use this instruction for any other
movement, unless you want to rasterize these positions too.
Symbol
Name
Function
Robot movement - grid
All robot axes (X,Y,Z,A,B,C) move in parallel

to the preset positions, and are rasterized
based on the Grid Editor settings.
Example:
In each cycle the robot deposits two parts at different positions. To do this, two parts
sequences have been programmed in the Teach grid sequence.
After the Position before opening or Machine area - Max - Z the robot moves to Linear axes
position 2 . After completing the part sequence for part 1, the part sequence for part 2 starts.
After depositing both parts, the robot continues with the instructions in the robot sequence.

STANDARD INTERFACE
The peripheral unit Standard interface is used in the intermediate layerpart sequence. 2
inputs/outputs each are configured for this purpose in the robot setup.
Parts are deposited e.g. in an imprinting machine (Wait depositing allowed).
Robot moves on waiting position (Part deposited).
When imprinting finished (wait Pick-up allowed), the robot moves on the take-up position and
takes up the parts again.
Following this, the imprinting machine receives a signal indicating that the Part has been
picked up.

TAKE-OFF STROKE CORRECTION

This is used to correct the take-off position for the robot in case of mold opening position
deviation.
226
Version: G/11/401/1/11
Example:
In the Moving-in standard subsequence, the special robot instruction Take-off stroke correction - start is inserted before the take-off position. The X axis is corrected to reflect the current
mold stroke position.
After the Take-off position the robot special instruction Take-off stroke correction stop is
inserted.
Take-off stroke correction - start
Take-off stroke correction - stop

Moving-in standard
MOLD SYNCHRONIZATION
The early start program switch must be enabled.
From the early start position the robot moves into the mold. The takeover head approaches the
mold up to a safety distance and follows the mold opening synchronously. When the mold has
reached the opening stroke, the demolding position is approached by the robot. ENGEL
sequence variant is available.
Example:
Moving in with mold synchronization
Mold synchronization - Start
Take-off safety position

EJECTOR SYNCHRONIZATION
The takeover head moves synchronously with the ejector movement. When the X-axis can no
longer follow the ejector speed, the ejector is stopped.
227
Version: G/11/401/1/11
Example:
Special instruction Ejector synchronizations - Start is inserted before the release instruction
Ejector advance . The x-axis will now move back synchronously with the Ejector advance
movement. Ejector synchronization is stopped at the Ejector advanced.

POSITION COMPENSATION FOR TIEBAR-LESS MACHINES

With tiebar-less injection molding machine the depositing and pick-up positions are displaced
on clamping force build-up by C frame expansion. This can cause issues with the robot on
depositing or picking up parts.
The following two sample sequences give you an easy solution to the problem using the
Sequence Editor.
Example:
Picking up insertion parts with built-up clamping force and relative positions.
Position over pick-up position

X=300 Y=0 Z=1200
Wait until
Mold standstill

Set individual axis position (of/on)
Increase position (by)
Memory position - Y
Memory position - Y
Y=0
After Position over moving-out position the mold and the clamping force build-up/reduction
are both locked.
The condition in the If command causes the robot to move to the Pick up insertion part Pick-up position - Y if clamping force is not built up.
If clamping force is built up, the robot moves in X and Z direction by a relative position. The
Insert part pick-up - pick-up position - Y is copied to Memory position - Y , and increased
by the value set in the Increment position (from/by) parameter.
The robot then moves to the calculated Memory position - Y.

230
Version: G/11/401/1/11
The condition in the If command causes the robot to move to the Pick up insertion part Pick-up position - Y if clamping force is not built up.
If clamping force is built up, the robot first moves to the X and Z pick-up positions and then to
the Y pick-up position.
Note!
You can program the sequence for pick-up parts, release mold and clamping force build-up/
reduction like in the first example.

WEIGH SCALE INTERMEDIATE DEPOSIT

This option also gives you the opportunity to check the weight of injection molded parts during
production. The robot can automatically separate out reject moldings and deposit them at a
reject molding position. This ensures that the good part depositing area will only contain parts
whose injection weight is within weight tolerance. This removes the need to check the weight
of molded parts manually.

Negative / positive tolerance

The tolerance specifies the amount by which the weight of the molded part is allowed to
deviate. If the weight deviation is too large the molded part is sorted out as a reject
molding.
Zero tolerance
Zero tolerance indicates by what extent the weight of the empty scales is allowed to
deviate. Weight fluctuations of the weighing scales can be caused by vibrations, for
example.
Keep the zero tolerance as low as possible. Reason: If the empty scales show a weight
of 5 grams, and zero tolerance is set to 7 grams, the 5 grams are not deducted but
added to the weight of the molded part. This falsifies the results by 5 grams. This means
that a molded part with a weight of 1 kg will be shown as 1.005 kg on the scales.
239
Version: G/11/401/1/11
Example:
The robot deposits a molded part on the scales. After depositing, the robot travels to waiting
position and sends a signal to the scales to start weighing. After the weight has been measured, molded part pick-up is released. The robot travels to pick-up position and moves the
molded part either to the depositing position or to the reject position depending on the results.
