Open architecture robot controller
Operating ranges from 500 mm to 1300 mm
Up to 15g linear acceleration and 200 pick and place operations per minute
Standard IP65 protection and optional IP69K for food and chemical applications
The RCP-DELTA is available in four models that support payloads up to 3 kg, with X/Y operating ranges of 500/800/1100/1300 mm, and an optional continuous rotation about the Z axis (yaw). Extensive use of carbon fiber and light-weight aluminum results in a robot that is capable of sustaining 200 pick-and-place operations per minute with peak acceleration on the order of 15g. With absolute encoders on each motor the robot never has to be referenced, even after a loss of power.
The RCP-DELTA control system is based on Aerotech’s A3200 Machine Controller. The A3200’s networked, distributed architecture provides a scalable platform upon which additional robots, I/O, and positioning devices can be integrated easily. Multiple programming interfaces provide deployment flexibility by allowing developers to work in the environment that matches their skill sets or application requirements. External sensors are supported with industry standard fieldbuses (EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, Ethernet/IP™, and others) or applications operating in the RCP-DELTA’s real-time enabled Windows® operating system.
Multiple Robot Configurations
IP65 protection is standard (sealed against dust and low-pressure water jets) and IP69K (sealed against dust and close-range high pressure and high temperature spray) is available for applications where periodic cleaning with high-pressure water and/or steam is required.
Preconfigured Functions
The RCP-DELTA supports all standard A3200 programming and control capabilities such as multi-block look-ahead, corner rounding, and command shaping. Additional Delta robot specific functions are included for common robotic operations such as target queues, tracking moving material, and teaching tool/part locations.
