Overview

Conveyor Tracking corresponds CP motion commands and Path motion and can be used in dispense application.

The following motion commands correspond:

  • Move : Linear motion
  • Arc : XY plane circular interpolation
  • Arc3 : 3D circular interpolation
  • CVMove : Free curve interpolation

CP motion and Path motion can be executed while following a workpiece. Dispensing speed of CP motion and Path motion are set in AccelS and Speeds.

'Setting of dispensing speed
SpeedS 50          'Dispensing speed 50mm/s
AccelS 1000 1000

KEY POINTS


  • When executing a dispensing at a constant speed, add a pre-motion to reach the dispensing speed. When you use an optional analog I/O board, it can adjust the amount of dispensing according to the speed.
  • When using the Arc and Arc3 commands for conveyor tracking, use the Arc syntax (1) and Arc3 syntax (1), which specify the midPoint, as described in the SPEL+ Language Reference.
  • Arc syntax (2) to (4) and Arc3 syntax (2), which do not specify the midPoint, are not available for conveyor tracking.
