Valuable insights from experts on how to maximize the opportunities in a migration project so it is not just a copy job. Especially, important to me is innovation by use of Digital Twin and first principle dynamic simulations.

Excellent install this week for Russell Logic! This automation redesign of an existing line was a fun one. Separating an operation from the main line presented an excellent opportunity for some automation upgrades. We were able to utilize an existing DENSO VS-6556-W robot for an upgraded load robot from the old UR-10E, which enabled us to increase cycle times. Utilizing my simulation from WINCAPS III software allowed us to hit the ground running once power was on. We upgraded the Denso RC8A controller to Ethernet IP from its old discrete comms and created a custom, seamless AOI and UDTs for simplicity in the PLC commands to and from the Robot. This, plus endless IO back and forth really expanded our capabilities with this robot. (Denso AOI and UDT available upon request for MiniIO and Ethernet IP.) Safety was upgraded as well from some messy safety relays to a KEYENCE CORPORATION GC-1000 Safety PLC, utilizing the S1R relay output expansions to satisfy the Robot and our PowerFlex 525 VFD's. We did away with gates and utilized a Keyence SZ-01S area scanner (God I love the SZ's) for the Robot Area, which talked seamlessly to the GC-1000 over GC Link. Being separated from the main line, we ran a Rockwell Automation 5069-L330ERM PLC for this cell which allowed for some long overdue logic cleanup utilizing the standard Russell Logic PLC templates. Picking a non-ferritic plate with holes was a unique challenge and the customer worked with their COVAL.SAS rep to utilize their Lemax products. In the past I've used the Piab Group Kenos systems for challenging part handling, but I am very impressed with the Lemax product series! Russell Logic is ready for any challenge!

Here's your reminder to go check your delta robot's ball bearing cups! If you're running Codian Robotics remember to use an M5 bolt to get it out.

Some of my favorite features about Siemens TIA Portal. A lot of us talk about documentation when it comes to panels but let's talk about user friendly code & documentation. If your not documenting your code for your customers you are doing them an injustice. TIA Portal makes it extremely easy to not only group & create a folder structure for your projects but also add items like identification & maintenance. Trust me you will be thankful for it, always been a Rockwell guy but damn TIA Portal is so powerful & modular. Check us out, happy coding & happy fathers day! #MAC
