EasyLoad

EasyLoad™ machine tending software is a pendant application that uses a touch screen interface on the NX100 programming pendant to provide conversational, graphics-based robot programming. EasyLoad includes a software wizard that guides the user through simple step-by-step procedures to create complete, custom robot programs for the desired machine tending process. Job setup is fast and easy.

Conversational Programming

• Using a conversational, graphics-based approach, EasyLoad wizard leads the user through every step of the simple setup process.
• Instead of text-based commands, most programs can be created using graphics and data input screens.
• The user only needs to be able to manipulate the robot, record points and enter specific data about the process.
• User teaches several positions for each machine, as well as pickup/set-down points. EasyLoad uses this information to generate programs.
• Traditional point-to-point programming is not typically required, but is available, if needed.
• Part setup is fast and easy, and so is making changes during a production run.
• Videos on the pendant demonstrate common tasks that the operator must perform.
• EasyLoad configurations can be set up once, then applied to multiple workcells.

Wizard-Guided, Step-by-Step Approach

• Using the touch screen, the user enters critical dimensions for the part and other process data at different steps within the operational sequence.
• User selects the machine model for each operation and enters a sequence of operations. Machines already configured in EasyLoad include critical machine dimensions. The inputs and outputs required to communicate between the machine and robot are also included in the machine configuration.
• User attaches simple teaching aids to the robot arm and teaches touch-off points for each key position within the workcell. After recording points, the user removes teaching aids.
• Once required data is entered, EasyLoad software automatically generates the robot program, using predefined templates. These templates include basic logic and safety signals.

Flexibility

• EasyLoad works with a variety of infeed and outfeed equipment, including:
  • Conveyors
  • Turntables
  • Pallets
• Variety of machines supported:
  • Haas SI-series lathes
  • Haas vertical machining centers (VF-1 through VF-5)
  • Other machines (contact Motoman for engineering review)
• Supports single or dual grippers in either back-toback or inline configuration (back-to-back gripper required for pallet tending applications).
• Job templates and profiles can be customized, as needed.
• Multiple configurations can be saved for re-use, allowing one robot to handle variety of parts or processes.

Top 3 Reasons to Buy!

• Reduces the training required for system operation! Allows operators with minimal programming skills to quickly and easily configure the Motoman robot(s) using a conversational, graphics-based approach.
• Enhances productivity by reducing programming time.
• Maximizes capital investment in automation by allowing one robot to perform a multitude of processes on a wide variety of parts.
