Teach robots quickly and easily

Industrial robots increase efficiency in manufacturing and logistics but are too expensive for many companies. In the past, a cheaper in-house design was usually not an alternative either, as the programming skills were lacking. This is no longer necessary: with the new MRC01 controller from Oriental Motor, robots can be operated without any prior knowledge..

With the MRC01, even inexperienced operators can create a functional programme for industrial robots within an hour. The controller is designed specifically for drives powered by Oriental Motor's AZ Series motors. These closed-loop stepper motors enable battery-free absolute positioning, making them ideal for driving robot joints.

The controller takes over complex kinematics calculations automatically. This includes, for example, teaching the Tool Centre Point (TCP), which is of central importance for the entire robot programming. Teaching the TCP enables the robot to move to the same position from different angles.

The user can choose between a Cartesian coordinate system, a hand flange coordinate system, a tool coordinate system and an axis coordinate system with the MRC01 from Oriental Motor. The control also enables programme operation, direct data operation and JOG/Tip/ZHOME operation. Since possible axis offsets are taken into account during programming, the MRC01 is suitable even for robots with a high degree of freedom.

The MRC01 supports EtherNet/IP so that motion sequences for in-house robots can be created simply by transferring motion block data from a programmable controller. The MRC01 is also equipped with 8 inputs and 8 outputs for direct I/O functions. Various control operations such as start/stop operation and control of peripheral devices can be easily performed. Various protective functions reduce the risk of unintentional movements, e.g. due to incorrect operation. In addition, the controller interrupts operation before the robot approaches a singularity during teaching and performs a dangerous movement..
