The YASKAWA Smart Pendant is an innovative teach pendant with a large 10-inch touch screen and offers a newly thoughtout operator control concept. The tablet-based graphical user interface (GUI) enables the guided entry of commands, parameters, functions and program sequences. The central interface comprises the main and navigation menus, where entries are listed and switched in a specific, easily comprehensible order. The Smart Pendant has a revolutionary patented coordinate system – the “Smart Frame” – that also supports rotation and inclination of the Smart Pendant. This means that the operator no longer has to convert motions or break them down into a coordinate space (X,Y,Z) when teaching them, and his line of vision relative to the robot is automatically taken into consideration by the system. In the case of collaborative robots, the “Hand Guiding” function – guiding the robot manually to a desired position – is also supported. The Smart Pendant is available for the following MOTOMAN robots with the YRC1000
Features:
- Large touch screen (10”)
- Ergonomic design with low weight, diagonal side cable entry and integrated Emergency Stop
- Simple and intuitive operator control, short learning curve
- Ideal for users who need to carry out frequent reprogramming and thus appreciate simple operator control
- Supports many powerful functions of the MOTOMAN YRC1000
- Context-sensitive help and help menu offer many explanations
