HC10 Mobile Workstation Enables Flexible Production Environments

MC HC10 Mobile Workstation Enabkes Flexible Production Environment 1 400x275

October 14, 2022

 

Compatible with the Yaskawa HC10, HC10DT, HC10XP and HC10DTP collaborative robots, the HC10 Workstation is an economical solution for integrating HC10 robots with the high-performance YRC1000 controller into a single package. This mobile station is well-suited for arc welding, assembly, machine tending, and pick and place tasks.

Highly portable, the riser is quickly redeployed to meet evolving production demand. Its space-saving footprint easily integrates into current manufacturing environments, and it is efficiently moved with a pallet jack or forklift.

The workstation’s metal cabinet (1,091 mm H x 734 mm W x 805 mm D) houses the robot controller and offers a comfortable working height for most collaborative applications. Built-in leveling feet offer a stable platform while the robot runs at maximum speed and payload capacity.

Cables are internally managed for easy setup and reduced expenses for maintenance and spare parts inventory. A 2-meter robot cable with a 90-degree connector to the controller is included for efficient wire management.

Optional area scanners provide speed and separation monitoring. An optional stack light can alert nearby users of robot movement, alarms or general status.

Note: Robot and controller sold separately.

Access Management for Your Plant and Machinery

With PILZ’s “Identification and Access Management” portfolio, they offer you a comprehensive range of products, solutions and software for the implementation of safety as well as security tasks. Below you’ll discover more about potential applications, from simple authentication to complex access permissions, and access management through to safe operating mode selection, maintenance safeguarding and safeguarding of data and networks. Experience safety and security in one system!

This solution ensures that a machine cannot resume operation while people are still in the danger zone. The maintenance safeguarding system “key-in-pocket” is designed for machines with danger zones, which are protected by a safety fence and which staff need to access – robot cells for example. In comparison with conventional lockout-tagout (LOTO) systems, maintenance safeguarding with the key-in-pocket solution is implemented via RFID keys with corresponding permissions and a safe list in the PILZ controllers. As a result, it provides a purely electronic restart protection and makes both mechanical interlocking devices and warning tags redundant.
