HMI
An HMI Screen Capture for a welding application which gives the Operator control over the start, root, & end of welds. The interface to the Lincoln Welder was done with Devicenet.
Graphics
A newer image with improved graphics. This is a basic main screen showing the machine basic setup and cycle control.
Robot
A Kawasaki robot which is used to load and remove parts from an automated CNC milling machine.
Hand Off
Automation
A front view of a automated welding/grinding machine for the sheet metal industry. This will weld a seam up to 120" long, and grind the weld providing a smooth, curved corner.
Conveyor
A pallet conveyor which allows an operator to load parts, and then presents them to a robot for unloading.
Grinder
Basic View of a 4 corner grinding machine for small electrical box enclosures. This machine takes welded boxes and grinds the weld providing a smooth, curved corner. Adjusts to boxes 6"x6"x4" up to 24"x24"x10" automatically.
Die Machine
Overall view of a extrusion Die Machine. This uses a servo drive to cut extruded aluminum to a set length and also punch various size/style of holes for mounting and assembly. Data is fed to the PLC via CSV File generated in the office.
Servos
Conveyor view of a 4-corner robotic welding system. This system is used to clamp electrical enclosures and weld all 4 corners at once. Uses servo motors to automatically adjust to accommodate boxes 12"x12"x6" up to 36"x72"x24".
Control Panel
Control panel for servo application. This view shows the main disconnect and 5 servo motors.
Main Panel
Part of a control panel showing main disconnect and servo drives for a welding application. In total this system had 10 axis of motion.
In Action
Image showing a Kawasaki robot in action loading completed parts onto a pallet conveyor once they have been removed from a CNC milling machine.
Wired In
Control
Another portion of the same control panel showing a buss bar wiring system with fuses and motor contactors.
Working
A Kawasaki robot in action loading and removing parts from a CNC Milling machine.
Built to Last
Parked view of a robot with a stud welding gun attached. This robot mounts stand-off studs into an electrical enclosure. Position of the studs is generated by another application which obtains the stud positions from engineering drawings.
In Progress
PLC / IO
Control panel for a robotic welding cell. This shows a Compact Logic PLC with IO.
Spot Welder
Robot used for spot welding. This robot is inverted, and mounted on a seventh axis to extend its reach.
