Portal robot solar panels with HSB, Wanshsin, Estun and Trio

Portal robot with a working range of 7600 x 400 x 2500 mm in the X-Y-Z plane where solar panels are stacked.

The HSB portal axes from the Gamma series with double guides are the basis of the system.

The X-Y-Z movements are performed with Estun EMG servomotors and Wanshsin planetary gearboxes.

At the bottom of the Z axis is a 3D manipulator driven with the compact Estun EMJ servo motors. The mass of the grab and the solar panel, a total of 75 kg, hangs on the Wanshsin planetary gearbox from the WAD series.

Interpolation of the 3D manipulator and the XYZ system is done with the Trio MC4N motion controller. The Estun servo controllers are controlled from the Trio control via EtherCAT control based. The Trio motion controller has been extended with a Touch Screen and additional I / O modules (Trio EtherCAT Flexslice system) for the complete machine control.

Handling system gas cylinders - ATB Automation total solution

Conducted by the project team of ATB Automation.
A system composed of XYZ HSB Delta-S linear units with spindle and Stöber EZ-servo motor (X and Z-axis) and HSB-Beta Z linear unit with a toothed belt and Stöber PE-EZ planetary servo motor gear. The system is able to move gas cylinders of 20 kg within a reach of 1000 x 300 x 1000 mm, without external guides.
Central control is the Trio MC4 controller with Delphi communication via OCX commands. The Trio controller controls the Stöber SD6 drives via EtherCAT.

Handling system diamonds with Estun, Stöber and HSB

ATB Automation has been brought in for automation of diamond order picking in a warehouse. Orders are processed by the HSB XYZ system, taking the diamonds via a barcode system from the shelves in the safe. The large XYZ system also places new diamonds to stock. Right next to the safe is a smaller second xyz system. This system loads the orders into and out of containers to and from the big xyz system in the safe.

The linear system consists of HSB-Beta Z linear axes with toothed belts. The large system in the safe has a range of 2500 x 2300 mm in the horizontal plane and 1790 mm in the vertical plane. The maximum velocities and accelerations that are achieved are 1 m/s and 2 m/s2. 

Estun servo drives

The servo system is from the Chinese supplier Estun. The ProNet-EC servo drives are equipped with an EtherCAT bus system. This bus is used for control by a pc equiped with TwinCAT. The compact Estun EMJ servo motors are equiped with Stober PE ME planetary gearboxes and Stöber KL MQ bevel gear units.

ATB Automation: More than componten

The calculations and the selection of the components for an optimal XYZ drive system has been made by the sales engineer of ATB Automation. The supplier of the complete automatic warehouse took care of the commissioning and tuning of the system in close collaboration with one of the ATB Automation software engineers.

XYZ PCB scanner system with HSB and Trio Motion Technology

Manual testing of often hundreds of components in the circuit board is replaced by a XYZΦ-positioning system in a PCB scanner. The test time is halved thanks to the speed and accuracy of the machine. The risk of skipping components during the test is nil.

Pick & Place laboratory with HSB, Stöber and Trio

Fully automatic laboratory based on a 3-axis servo system for sample analysis in the minerals industry. The pick and place system with a stroke of nearly 5 meters is PC controlled. The control cabinet is designed and implemented by ATB Automation.
