Chapter 9 Example of Building a System

How to build hardware and software is explained in details by using a screw-tightening robot as an
example.

1. Equipment

Screw-tightening machine (for Z-axis)

Actuators (for axes 1 and 2)

IAI’s actuator with 300-mm stroke x 2

Controller

IAI’s SSEL controller

2. Operation

(1) Tighten six screws at 30-mm pitches on axes 1 and 2.

[1] The actuators move to a screw-tightening

position.

[2] The Z-axis air cylinder of the screw-tightening

machine comes down.

[3] The screw-tightening machine starts operating.
[4] When the screw tightening is complete, the Z-

axis air cylinder rises.

[5] The actuators move to the next position.

(2) The parts feeder operates in parallel with the above

operation.
[1] The parts feeder starts when screws are short.
[2] The parts feeder stops when the screws are fully

loaded.
