Packaging Automation Takes a Singular Step Forward

For designers, builders, and users of automated packaging equipment, the action of the Yaskawa Packaging Automation demo is more than merely an eye-catching spectacle. The Yaskawa demo shows off the power of Singular Control, the ability to program every element of a multi-robot work cell with a single Yaskawa machine controller. Using familiar IEC programming, packaging professionals can create new machinery with ease and change configurations without rewriting software.

00:00:09 [Music] [Music] one controller one brain controlling any number of different mechanisms anybody can program a robot one control for any of the automation or any of the robot solutions simple unique the solve all solution that is the strength and power of singular control what you'll see in this demo is an array of traditional

00:00:58 motion control axes as well as an array of different robot mechanisms all being run off of one singular control RMP 33-hundred IEC controller has the ability to control the traditional servo axes as well as the robot control when you want to change from say a gantry to an articulated robot keeping the same programming that you already did we can show exactly how that drop down menu

00:01:27 allows us to change mechanism so anybody who understands ladder logic function blocks or structure texts can program a robot utilizing our singular control platform your only programming one unit with one programming language that never has to change coming from a manufacturer of both servo drives as well as robots this gives us the real understanding of both

00:01:57 technologies and be able to implement it into one control I'd like to think that the machine builder will look at singular control as being the solve all solution for their control platform machine builders have to come up with different designs using different mechanisms and if you could use one control for any of the automation that would be the simplest solution out there
