Mitsubishi electric introduced industrial robot, the force sensor and a special programming tools for the integration of "MELFA force sensing application package" (FIG. 1, 2). According to mitsubishi electric, using the application package, you can easily set up power electronic parts and auto parts assembly, nested, check the process automation system.

The application package consists of a vertical multi-joint robot "RV - 2 f" series and "f" RV - 4/7 series (with tube fitting specifications), controller, "4 f - FS001 - W200" (collection of force sensor, interface unit and cable class as a whole) as well as force sensing applications "RT Toolbox2" additional use of special tools. Target customers not only of the application package include the first time use the robot's enterprise, also including the already familiar with robot system integration company.

The application package is equipped with force sensor for the first time. Due to the sensor to detect the tiny force of the machine arm, so it can accomplish the original robot workpiece contour and nested work. In addition, by moving the robot work record digital, also can work on quality management and the analysis of the causes of errors. Through the use of the robot can edit application not only, still can speculate that the processing time, auxiliary bugs repair, simulation and other projects of RT Toolbox2, can reduce the burden of programming work.

Just press the button to set the initial parameters of force sensor automatically. In addition, still can use a force sensor on the special interface editor of mechanical arm work assistant program. Through these features, we can make force sensing equipment and production lines start time than the time needed for do not use the application package by 80%. If the use of force sensing application software, still can make force parameters of complex program becomes simple. (reporter: matsuda thousand ear)
