Product Features

MELFA Smart Plus

The high-precision technologies and calibration functions provided by MELFA Smart Plus allow correction of machine deviations between cells, offline teaching and copy cells(*1).
This then enables coordinated operation between the master cell and other cells.
*1)
Offline teaching: Operation where programs created in a simulation are transferred to an actual cell.
Copy cell: Conveys master cell modification information. Processes in cells in other locations are then modified in the same way.

Please refer to the "Catalogs" for a robot and the details of the robot arm options.

Robot mechanism temperature compensation function

• Monitors the robot arm temperature and automatically compensates for deviations caused by thermal expansion in the arm.
• Positional errors due to thermal expansion in the arm when seasonal or time-period-related temperature changes arise are reduced to 1/5th of previous levels.(Under Mitsubishi Electric measurement conditions)

Calibration assistance function

Automatic calibration

• Commands for calibrating the robot and 2D vision are included.
• This automates the teaching work required for existing calibration and allows calibration to be conducted using robot programs.
• A function is also provided that uses screen deviation to compensate for vision sensor mounting error, ensuring more accurate calibration.

Workpiece coordinate calibration

• Features 2D vision sensors mounted on the robot gripper and commands that calibrate work coordinates defined on the work palette, automating the teaching work required for existing calibration and allowing calibration to be conducted using robot programs.
• This simplifies tasks such the calibration of work palettes and robots installed on dollies or automated guided vehicles(AGVs).

Inter-robot relational calibration

• Coordinated work can be simplified by running robot programs to calibrate workpiece coordinates that are shared among multiple robots fitted with 2D vision sensors on their grippers.

Coordinated control for additional axes

• Allows synchronized operation where tracking of the robot and workpieces on an additional axis (linear axis) is specified.
• Linear or circular interpolation while the workpiece is being transported allows operations such as precision sealing workand surface inspections.
