Precise Automation Inc. introduces the PAVP6, a collaborative 6-axis articulated robot that limits all collision forces.Designed as an intrinsically safe mechanism, it will not injure a user, even if it accidentally impacts them at full speed. This eliminates the need for expensive safety barriers and permits the robot to operate safely side-by-side with personnel.Combined with absolute encoder motors, which do not require any motion to home during startup, these safety features greatly reduce the risk of injuring people or damaging equipment during operation.
This quiet OEM mechanism has its motion controller, harnesses, and power supplies embedded in its base to eliminate extra controller enclosures and external power and communication harnesses.This space-saving design, combined with the collaborative features of the robot, enables the PAVP6 to be deployed quickly in mixed manufacturing environments where people can enter active automated work cells without interruptions to the process. This allows for easy work cell integration into pre-existing manual lines and a more cohesive human/robot assembly process.
All company mechanisms feature the embedded precise guidance motion controller.This controller offers gravity balanced free mode teaching aids and capabilities for automatically generating elegant and reliable motion sequences.Its features permit the mechanism’s end effector to move along smooth, straight-line paths or arbitrarily complex motion sequences by simply moving the robot manually to start and end positions and letting the controller handle the rest.
Features include an Ethernet interface (featuring PC control via an open source TCP/IP Command Server), kinematics for Cartesian motions, and an embedded Web server that permits the robot to be operated locally via a standard browser executed on a PC, a wireless tablet, or remotely from anywhere in the world. The PAVP6 simplifies programming and reduces cycle times with the most efficient motions possible. When machine vision is needed, precise vision can be added to the robot as an option.
