Manipulator-Controller Combinations
RC90
Product features
- All cables and interfaces are provided on the front of the controller, for easy setup and maintenance.
- The controller allows the robot's error history, settings, and other information to be saved quickly and easily simply by plugging a USB memory device into a port and pressing a button on the controller.
Specification 
The RC180, a compact controller
The RC180 is a compact, lightweight controller designed with simple, easy-to-use features.
Product features
- Perfect for robots operating mainly on a PLC
- A wizard (guide) function enables the vision system (for camera recognition) to be used easily and accurately.
- A compact body means it can be installed inside a control panel. The controller can be placed vertically or horizontally and can be mounted on a wall.
Specification
The RC620, a work cell controller
The RC620 is a high-end version of the RC90 and RC180, with PC functions.As a work cell controller, the RC620 is loaded with functions that allow it to fully control entire automation systems, including robots, as well as multiple manipulators. The RC620 thus makes it possible to construct systems that are more complex, flexible, and wide-ranging.
Product features
- A variety of systems can be built by using multiple manipulators and additional axis functions.
- The RC620 drives two SCARA robots (8 axes)*1 and, with the addition of drive units, up to 16 manipulators (20 axes).
- High expandability. A wide variety of options can be added to this powerful, PC-based controller, making it easy to provide the flexibility needed to meet a diverse range of applications for entire robot systems. Its open architecture means off-the-shelf PC hardware and software can be used.
- GUI builder. Easily create custom operator windows without using a special display device or PLC.
- A high-resolution image processing option boosts positioning and alignment accuracy.
- High-speed conveyor tracking enables rapid pick-and-place of fast-moving parts and products.
