SCORBOT-ER 9Pro, Super proLIGHT 1000 and proLIGHT 3000

This package can be used as a stand-alone workcell or integrated within a CIM system. The robot tends the CNC machine and performs other part manipulation and/or assembly tasks. When used in a CIM system, the robot loads and unloads parts to and from the CIM conveyor. The robot is mounted on a linear slidebase for mobility and larger work area.

The SCORBOT-ER 9 Pro is a rugged robotic system that offers advanced robotic path control, speed and accuracy. With the new state of the art USB-Pro Controller, the ER9Pro is provided with multi-tasking, real-time control and synchronization of up to 8 axes, 16 digital inputs, 16 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs. A hand-held teach pendant gives users direct control of the robot and peripheral axes and enables position recording and other workcell functions.

The Super proLIGHT 1000 machining center is a tabletop CNC milling machine. Similar to larger industrial machines, the Super proLIGHT 1000 uses EIA, ISO, and Fanuc-compatible G&M code programs to cut parts in a variety of materials. The machine's software supports a number of programming modes, including linear, circular, and helical interpolation, multiple tool programming and canned cycles. The mill is equipped with an automatic tool changer (ATC).

The proLIGHT 3000 turning center is a tabletop CNC lathe. Similar to larger industrial machines, theproLIGHT 3000 uses EIA, ISO, and Fanuc-compatible G&M code programs to cut parts in a variety of materials. The machine's software supports a number of programming modes, including linear and circular interpolation, multiple tool programming and canned cycles. The lathe is equipped with an automatic tool turret.

This turnkey station gives students training and skills in CAD/CAM, CNC and robotic programming and control, and automated manufacturing systems.
