NewsRLX on Display at Rockwell Automation Fair 2011Austin, TX (November 21, 2011) – Yaskawa Motoman Robotics demonstrated their high speed assembly robot, MH5, under RLX control at the 2011 Rockwell Automation Fair. This demonstration showed the robot using a Cognex camera to locate a part and then execute motions to pick the part and place it on a conveyor. The robot motion planning and control was all done on Control Logix using the RLX software and RLX-CPU (MLX100 Robot Gateway) add on. Cognex vision was integrated into the application program using an Ethernet/IP connection between the Cognex smart camera and Control Logix. RLX on Display at PackExpo 2011Austin, TX (September 1, 2011) – RLX, Agile Planet's Unified Robot Control software will be on display at three different booths at PackExpo 2011. Yaskawa Motoman Robotics will display a truck loading robotic palletizing system, Intelligrated will show their Alvey Robotic Palletizer, and Columbia Machine will be showing their FL2000-R hybrid palletizer. Wynright Intralogistics Embraces PLC Unified Robot Motion ControlArlington, TX (March 23, 2011) – Wynright, Inc. a leading manufacturer and integrator in the material handling industry has begun implementing unified control robotic solutions. With unified control, robot control and programming takes place directly from a programmable automation controller (PAC or PLC). This new methodology for implementing robotics enables Wynright to apply our significant material handling expertise to deliver innovative automation solutions for our clients. RLX on Display at Rockwell Automation Fair 2010Austin, TX (November 20, 2010) – Yaskawa Motoman Robotics demonstrated their newly released MLX100 Robot Gateway controller for Allen Bradley PLCs. This demonstration showed the seven axis Motoman SIA20D robot arm being programmed and controlled directly from ControlLogix. |
