MUSASHI Dispensing robot ShotMaster and Image Master 350PC smart

Universal dispensing robot ShotMaster SX and OX

The ShotMaster SX dispensing robot is offered in 4 sizes with travel ranges from 200x200x50 mm to 500x500x80 mm. The stable kinematics with an X-axis arranged on the chassis which carries the workpiece table, allows a payload of 15 kg for workpieces. The fixed Y-portal with integrated Z-axis allows a high load a high payload of 7 kg for the tools. The OMEGA version even allows workpiece loads of up to 20 kg and 15 kg for tools. This torsionally stiff construction allows the highest precision. The machines impress not only with their precision and load capacity, but also with their speed. The axes enable traverse movements at speeds of up to 800 mm/s. This sets new standards for the ShotMaster SX. The ShotMaster SX thus sets new standards. This also applies to the compact construction. With a working area of 200x200 mm, a footprint of 300x300 mm is sufficient. This makes the MUSASHI ShotMaster SX200 one of the most compact TableTops and is therefore ideally suited for laboratories, clean rooms or series production in the lean concept.

Automatic measurement of the dispensing needle

The automatic measurement of the dispensing needle is also helpful. The dispensing tip is measured in xyz and the coordinates of the programme are automatically corrected. automatically corrected. This reduces the setup effort for production to a minimum.

SynchroSpeed-Function

The integration of the dispensing systems is unique. MUSASHI is the only manufacturer that develops and produces dispensing systems and tabletops. Therefore, the ShotMaster SX tabletop robot is optimally designed for dispensing applications. The ShotMaster SX easily masters one of the usual challenges. with a flick of the wrist. When dispensing webs, corners and curves are a particular challenge. In order to go around a "corner", the end effector must move linearly, decelerate to a maximum decelerate to the maximum, change direction and accelerate extremely. Otherwise the "corner" becomes round, i.e. the movement path shows an "over-grinding". The ShotMaster SX has optimal acceleration values. Furthermore, there is a special function: the "Elbow" movement command, in which the parameters of the "Elbow" movement are defined. parameters of the movement for "overgrinding" can be defined. In addition, the dispensing process can be optimised for the "corner". For the relevant the robot sends a signal to the dosing system, which switches to a different set of parameters for a short period of time in order to adapt the dosing to the reduced web speed. dosing to the reduced web speed.

Bonding = dosing + joining + curing

One example is the dispensing of adhesives. Automated dispensing makes the process reproducible and of high quality. Often part of the adhesive dispensing also includes precise and time-defined joining. For this purpose, additional grippers can be mounted on the Z-axis and controlled via the flexible IOs. and controlled via the flexible IOs. For example, first the adhesive is dispensed in the joint groove. Then the cover is picked up with a suction pad and joined immediately. joined. As an experienced machine builder, ATN develops the grippers, programs the processes and supplies its customers with the complete solution.

The curing of light-initiated adhesives can also be integrated into the ShotMaster. As a rule, a UV area lamp is used for this purpose. Depending on the type of adhesive, LEDs with wavelengths of 365 nm, 400 nm or 460 nm are used. To simplify handling, the light-tight enclosure is carried out locally. For this purpose, a collar is attached around the joining areas, into which the UV lamp with its 100 x 100 mm is immersed and the working area is sealed light-tight.

Configurable screwdriving robot for automated assembly

With an automatic screw dispenser and a high-quality screwdriving spindle, the ShotMaster becomes a screwdriving robot. The screws are fed in and separated automatic screw dispenser and separated. The screwdriving spindle with several interchangeable tools sucks the screw, removes it from the screw dispenser and guides it to the screwdriving position. from the screw dispenser and guides it to the screwdriving position. There, the screwdriving process begins: the spindle generates the screwdriving movement, the Z-axis is lowered, so that the compensation unit presses the screw down with a low continuous force. The MuDrive software enables intuitive, convenient and efficient programming on a PC. The different configurations allow the screwdriving robot to be optimally adapted to the respective application. application. Depending on the screw type (M1-M4), there are two screw dispensers and four screw spindles with a torque between 0.03 nm and 1.5 Nm.

ShotMaster for benefit cutting and deburring

By installing a milling spindle with suction, the ShotMaster-SX can be used for blank cutting. The suction with two suction nozzles directly on the spindle spindle removes the residues before they can contaminate the environment. After each programme start, a light barrier checks whether the milling cutter is is broken. Graphic programming facilitates programme creation, especially for more complex blank geometries. With the adapted milling cutters the ShotMaster-SX is also suitable for deburring injection-moulded parts.

In line with the highly automated inline dispensers, MUSASHI Engineering also offers a version with vision system and laser sensor for 3D measurement.

The Image Master 350PC Smart version reduces the setup effort to the absolute minimum and is optimally suited for development departments or in the production, when the geometry of the parts requires it to be measured before dispensing.

Touch panel-PC

The clear display of all programme and dosing parameters facilitates the creation and implementation of even complex dispensing programmes.

Zero point correction

The automatic height measurement and the simple XY measurement of the 1st metering point easily corrects deviations after changing or cleaning the metering tool or material cartridge. or cleaning of the metering tool or the material cartridge.

Mapping-Funktion

Die Koordinaten der Programmpunkte werden offline erstellt oder per Mausklick am Kamerabild (Vollansicht) definiert. Danach werden die Positionen mit dem Fadenkreuz der Kamera angefahren und in der Detailansicht per Mausklick „feinjustiert“.

3D Alignment function, profiling function

With the image processing system, displacements and rotations of the workpieces and workpiece carriers are detected and compensated. The function Height measurement and correction ensures constant dispensing distances and dispensing results, even when the workpiece is tilted or has deviations in shape.

Integrated length measurement for evaluating the dispensing results

Several iterations are usually required from the creation of the first programme version to the final programme with final metering parameters. Dispensing - measuring - observing - parameter variation With the possibility of carrying out the measurement directly in the machine, this effort is considerably reduced.

Dispensing systems

Due to the standardised interfaces from MUSASHI, the ShotMaster SX and OX dispensing robots, the Image Master 350PC Smart and also the gantry robots. CrossMaster SX, OX and 350PCSmart XMOX can be equipped with all MUSASHI dispensing systems. The extensive product range offers solutions for a multitude of different media and dispensing tasks.
