INTELLIGENT ACTUATOR


3. Palletizing Calculation

The items that can be operated or obtained using palletizing calculation commands are shown below:

(1) Palletizing position number

Commands --- PSET, PINC, PDEC, PTNG

Number showing the ordinal number of a palletizing point.
(In Fig. 1 given in the explanation of palletizing pattern, the encircled numbers are palletizing
position numbers.)

Always set this command before executing a palletizing movement command (excluding ARCH)

--- PSET

For example, executing a palletizing movement command by setting 1 as the palletizing position
number will move the axes to the start point. Executing a palletizing movement command by
setting 2 as the palletizing position number will move the axes to the point immediately next to the
start point in the PX-axis direction.

(2) Palletizing angle

Command --- PARG

Angle formed by the physical axis and the palletizing preferential axis (PX-axis) (

 in the figure

below).
 indicates an angle calculated by ignoring the coordinate in the palletizing Z-axis direction.
In the figure below,

 will become a negative value if axis 1 is used as the reference for angle

calculation.


















Fig. 4


If the composite axis is a rotating axis, obtaining the palletizing angle and adding it to the composite-
axis operation as an offset will allow correction of the composite axis against positional shift of the
palletizing container.
With X-SEL commands, executing a “get palletizing angle” command following a palletizing setting via
3-point teaching will automatically obtain the palletizing angle.
If the setting by 3-point teaching was done three-dimensionally, a palletizing Z-axis must be specified.

(3) Palletizing calculation data

Command --- PAPG

When a palletizing position number is set, this data refers to the position coordinate data of the
palletizing point corresponding to that palletizing position number.
Note that this position coordinate data does not reflect normal offset or palletizing Z-axis offset.
