FANUC Robotics Introduces New R-2000iB Robot and R-J3iC Robot Controller

發那科機器人公司推出新型R-2000iB機器人以及R-J3iC機器人控制器

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., April 7, 2006 – FANUC Robotics America, Inc. today introduced the new R-2000iB, a multi-purpose intelligent robot designed for a wide range of applications including welding, assembly, part transfer, material removal, and machine loading. The new R-2000iB is compatible with its predecessor, the industry-leading R-2000iA six-axis robot.

密歇根羅切斯特希兒斯4月7日消息——發那科機器人美國公司今天推出了一款新型多功能智能機器人R-2000iB，這是為廣泛范圍應用而設計的，應用包括焊接、裝配、零件轉移、材料切割以及機器裝載等。新型的R-2000iB兼容其上代業界領先的六臂機器人R-2000iA。

Supported by the new R-J3iC Controller, the R-2000iB features enhanced intelligent functions and motion performance. The R-2000iB offers multiple model variations, including a 165kg base model, a high payload version, and a rack-mount model. A slim arm and wrist assembly helps minimize interference with system equipment and allows the robot to operate in small workspaces.

由新款R-J3iC控制器提供支持的R-2000iB具有增強的智能功能和運動性能。R-2000iB提供了多種模型變更，包括一個165千克的底部模型，一個高負載的模型，以及一個安裝在支架上的模型。細長的機械臂和機械腕幫助減少來自系統設備的干擾，而且允許機器人在狹小的工作空間里運作。

New R-J3iC Controller

新款R-J3iC控制器

Based on the latest FANUC Series 30i CNC Controller, the new R-J3iC Robot Controller uses high-performance hardware and the latest control technology, providing a level of intelligence never offered before.

基于最新的發那科30i 系列電腦數值控制（CNC）控制器的新款R-J3iC機器人控制器使用高性能的硬件和最新的控制技術，提供了前所未有的智能級別。

A new vibration control function virtually eliminates robot vibration during motion. With this function, the R-2000iB can accelerate and decelerate very quickly, reducing cycle time by approximately five percent compared to current robot models. For spot welding applications, the R-J3iC automatically optimizes servo-gun and robot motion, reducing the R-2000iB’s cycle time by about 15 percent, which provides significant improvements in throughput and productivity.

新型的振動控制功能實質上使在運動的過程中減少了機器人的振動。利用這個功能，R-2000iB可以快速地加速和減速，與現在相比，大約減少了5%的循環時間。在點焊應用中，R-J3iC自動優化伺服槍和機器人運動，減少了R-2000iB大約15%的循環時間，從而大大提供了生產量和生產力。

Enhanced Intelligent Functions

增強的智能功能

The R-2000iB offers a variety of intelligent function enhancements including Robot Link, which controls and coordinates up to ten robots through a network exchange of robot positional data. In addition, with the new Radar Monitoring function for multiple robots (available later this year), the R-2000iB exchanges current positional data and robot motion information to prevent interference in multi-robot applications.

R-2000iB機器人擁有多項的智能功能提升，包括通過機器人位置數據網絡交換控制和協調多達10個機器人的機器人鏈。此外，通過適用用于多機器人（今年內推出）新型的雷達監測功能，R-2000iB可以交換當前位置數據和機器人運動信息，避免了在多機器人應用中的干擾。

“Typically, in multi-robot applications, a customer is required to set up a very complex interlock system between the robots,” said Claude Dinsmoor, general manager, controller software product development, FANUC Robotics America, Inc. “The multi-arm and multi-robot enhancements of the R-J3iC can eliminate many complex interlocking systems, simplifying the operation of multiple robots.”

發那科機器人美國公司控制器軟件產品發展部總經理Claude Dinsmoor表示：“很典型，在多機器人應用中，要求用戶在機器人間建立一個復雜的互鎖系統。而帶有多機械臂和多機器人加強的R-J3iC可以減少很多復雜的互鎖系統，簡化多機器人應用的運作。”

Integrated Vision Function

集成視覺功能

The R-J3iC’s integrated vision function adds intelligence to a robot system without the need for additional processing hardware, providing a simple and compact solution with the same high reliability as that of the robot controller.

R-J3iC的集成視覺功能使機器人系統無需額外的過程硬件就具有智能性，提供與機器人控制器同樣高可靠性的簡單而緊湊的解決方案。

Integrated vision also makes it easy to use FANUC’s Vision Shift, which adjusts an offline program to an actual robot program by using vision, and TCP setup to accurately set tool center points.

集成視覺還可以使發那科視覺轉換簡單易用，調整一個未聯機的程序成一個實際的機器人程序，而且正確地設定傳輸控制協議（TCP）裝備成工具中心點。

“These vision functions can significantly reduce the time required for robot system integration,” said Ed Roney, FANUC Robotics’ manager of vision product development.

發那科機器人公司視覺產品發展部經理Ed Roney,表示：“這些視覺功能可以大大減少集成機器人系統所需要的時間。”

Compatibility with R-2000iA

與R-2000iA兼容

The R-2000iB robot is compatible with its predecessor, the R-2000iA. The new robot has the same workspace, installation, mounting interface, operation, and robot programming as the R-2000iA. This extensive compatibility makes it extremely easy to replace the R-2000iA with the R-2000iB.

R-2000iB機器人兼容其上代機器人，R-2000iA。新型機器人與R-2000iA具有相同的工作空間、安裝、裝備界面、操作和機器人程序。這個廣泛的兼容性使得R-2000iB極為容易地替換R-2000iA。

“The R-2000iB is an evolved, multi-purpose, intelligent robot that meets the ever-changing automation needs of manufacturers,” said Dinsmoor. “In material handling applications and others, the R-2000iB and its complete array of intelligent functions will help increase the use of robots on the factory floor.”

Dinsmoor補充道：“R-2000iB是一個改良的多功能智能機器人，可以滿足生產商不斷變化的自動化要求。在材料處理和其他應用中，R-2000iB及其完整的智能功能陣將幫助增加機器人在工廠中的使用。”
