Professional automation solutions with the rcs1 robot control

• Retrofitting of proven, reliable hardware (robots and machines) with the latest control technology
• New robots with the user-friendly, extremely flexible rcs1 control
• Sensory automation solutions for complex, innovative applications

Hardware concept

As an open, universal PC-based robot control, the rcs1 control is based on the latest, proven Siemens standards.

Sensor motor technology

The rcs1 is designed to allow the versatile integration of sensortechnology. A part from extensions for optical sensors, e.g. for real-time seam tracing, in particular stable processes for a hard contact force control robolab sensing system (rss1) are available as an extension, which simplify numerous robotic applications, or even make them possible for the first time.

Controllable axes

In its standard configuration, the rcs1 is designed as a 6-axis control, but it can be expanded considerably, e.g. up to a 16-axis control with coordinated control of additional axes and belt synchronization.

Kinematics

The rcs1 control is not limited to classic manipulator kinematics: Kinematics can be custom defined, e.g. for Cartesian robots, gantry robots, swivel/rotating tables.

Programming

Various user interfaces are available as options for programming the robot system:

• Hand-held unit (HHU) with touch screen
• Graphic user interface
• 3D simulation and programming system
• Programming interface in C/C++

Programming languages

• Manual programming with a 6D force sensor
• SRCL program interpreter
• C/C++ program library
