ER-4u
Robotic System
Download a brochure and specs here.
As a complete training system, the SCORBOT-ER 4u
comes together with hands-on students activities and instructors' manuals.
In addition, the SCORBOT-ER 4u is fully compatible with Eshed
Robotec's extensive curriculum, developed for robotics and automation
training.
The mechanical arm is an open construction,
vertically articulated arm. It has five axes plus gripper, and is driven
by 6 DC servo motors, with closed loop control. There are optical encoders
on all axes, hard home, and high level repeatability. All these features
make the SCORBOT-ER 4u suitable for integration with CNC machines and
other external devices to form flexible manufacturing systems. The robot
is designed for the safe environment of the student in mind. |

| The controller is a PC based robotics controller. One microprocessor (PIC17
& C42) per robot axis provides fully digital, noise immune tight
control with 1m/sec servo cycle time. This results in smooth motion
control, precise trajectory, and position precision. A real-time software
proprietary kernel, associated with SCORBASE for Windows, brings out the
best of Windows MMI and real-time motion control, which supports
continuous path control such as linear, circular and spline. Safety
features include impact detection and motor overload protection, to avoid
injuries to the students as well as damage to the motors. The new ER-4u
controller plugs into a USB port on your computer. The teach pendant
shown in the picture above is optional and is not required unless you want
to demonstrate how a teach pendant might be used in a larger industrial
robotic application where access to the computer is not possible. |

| An interface module
for the motor power supply, with 8 digital inputs and outputs, and 4
analog inputs (0-10volts), as well as 2 analog outputs (0-10volts). The
inputs and outputs provide for interfacing of the robot to external
devices, as well as digital and analog sensors. This feature enables
students to carry out experiments. |
