About Functions
Q Can I dispense while rotating the workpiece?
AYes, it is possible. The I/O-MT function allows control of up to two external motors. Please contact us for details. Click here to see a video example.
Q What are PTP movement and CP movement?
APTP stands for “Point To Point.” It ascends vertically from the point, then moves in the XY direction, and descends vertically to the next point.
CP stands for “Continuous Path.” It moves from one point to the next in a straight line or arc.
Q I want to lower my cycle time by shortening the Z-Axis ascent distance at each point. Is there an easy way to do this?
AThe Z ascent distance can be shortened by changing the Z moving height of the PTP Condition.
You can check the actual setup procedure in this video (approx. 1 minute).
Q I want to work on a lot of identical workpieces on a pallet, but teaching each job one by one is time consuming. Is there an easier way to do this?
AThis can be easily achieved using the pallet function.
By teaching a single workpiece, specifying the working area with the pallet function, and dividing it into rows and columns, it is possible to perform jobs on workpieces arranged at equal intervals.
