ROBOTIC WORKCELL The DISCOVERY VII PNEUMATIC ROBOTIC WORKCELL...MODEL D7000 provides fundamental training in movement, positioning, and applications of robotic arms. The Discovery VII is a five axis pneumatic robot that is computer controlled. Both pneumatic and electronic inputs provide precision movement to any of the eight fixed workstations. The system provides a programmable pneumatic system through a computer interface system that also provides integrated feedback. The system requires an outside air source of 60-PSI and an IBM or IBM clone computer with DOS BASIC. All communication links are made through the printer port of your computer and feedback card supplied with the system. The system also provides four worktables. Two worktables are flat work surfaces used to perform various material and parts handling and simulated spot welding and caulking applications. The remaining two worktables house a parts gravity feeding station with feedback, a pneumatic rotary parts turntable, and a pneumatic lifting station that elevates a ping-pong ball in an air stream for a robot pickup. A ball-receiving stand is also supplied. The system also supplies built-in speed control valves and gripper fingers that are removable to provide the student with the opportunity to design other format gripper devices. Courseware and computer program included. Specifications: The D7000 Robotic Work cell consists of three major elements: base assembly, robotic arm, and work tables. The entire system shall provide hands-on training for introductory robotics and robotic applications. The system shall be self-contained except for an air source and be easily transportable. The program shall be supported by courseware and computer software. Base Assembly: The base assembly shall be constructed of 18 gauge-welded steel with a sentra panel. The base assembly will house a programmable valve system, computer interface system and feedback communication module. The base assembly shall also provide an air pressure regulator and gauge that controls the operating pressure. Two auxiliary air output ports shall provide pneumatic control for peripheral devices. The base assembly shall provide mounting positions for the robotic arm and worktables and also provide eight fixed workstations. Robotic Arm: The robotic arm shall have five axes that is controlled through the use of the on-board valve system. All axes, except the elevation, must have built-in speed control valves for movement and speed control. The gripper shall have removable fingers and be capable of a payload of 2 lbs. The system must use industrial rod less, ball bearing slide assembly linear actuators and precision rotary actuators. The robotic arm must be pre-tubed and ready for operation upon delivery. Work Table: The system shall provide two sets of worktables. One set shall be a flat work surface used to perform material and parts placement and simulated spot welding and caulking applications. The other set of work tables provide a parts feeding station with feedback, a pneumatic rotary parts turntable, and a pneumatic lifting station and receiving station. All working devices shall be controlled through the computer interface.
