  1. Palletizing the Easy Way PickMaster 5Incl. PM 5.01 revision

  2. PickMaster 5 Presentation • ABB Packaging Software • Product Benefits • System overview • Use of software • Features • Licenses and options • Launch Material

  3. PickMaster- The ABB Packaging software Packing Palletizing Picking

  4. Focus on hardware cost Maintaining specialized robot programming skills at SI Production changes needs re-programming by Specialists Reduce programming cost SI focusing at developing smart line integration solutions Ease of use tool for robot integration Standard software with full customer support End customers performs production changes with standard software Market trend It used to be about……… Now it is………

  5. Lower the engineering cost • No need for costly robot programming • PickMaster 5 creates all the robot moves from the PC configuration

  6. Untie your human resources • An Ease of Use software can be handled by a general competence • No need for dedicated robot programmers • More flexible use of companies human resources • Same graphical interfaces as PickMaster 3

  7. Manage quick changes • Product changes requires Ease of Use products • Changes easily re-configured with PickMaster 5 • No need for specialists with detailed robot code about the actual installation

  8. Flexible for late changes • Late changes in layout is managed by configuration changes • No need for complete re programming

  9. Global Support • ABB supports standard products globally over the complete product life cycle

  10. Cut the software maintenance cost • Large volume product loaded with application tools • Continuously developed by ABB to meet customer requirements • Avoid “Inventing the wheel”

  11. Add flexibility directly at the robot cell • Improve system redundancy • Let the robot adapt to where you want to feed the products • Choose what in-feeds you want to use for what products on daily basis • Optimize robot utilization • Use two in-feed stations for one out-feed • Mix different products from different in-feed stations

  12. PickMasterTM workflow Offline Configuration Transfer Operation

  13. Line control • Product in feed operated by line controller • Typically PLC • Not included in PickMaster 5 • Products defined in line controller and PickMaster 5 • PickMaster 5 requests products from line controller for palletizing operation • Line controller acknowledge when ready • Request by pre defined I/O signals • Projects started from GTPU • From PLC using I/O signal event handling

  14. System configuration • Maximum, 1 robot per controller • 32 controllers per PickMaster 5 • 4 and 6 axis robots

  15. Optimize your Production Line • Configure the whole layout of the palletizing cell • PickMaster 5 Line configuration • Size and positions • In-feeders • Pallets • Slip sheets et.c. • Supports 32 controllers • 20 work areas per controller

  16. Easy to find optimum pattern • Integrated pallet pattern generator • Open for third party palletizing pattern software • Internal Library • Calculation of optimal robot motion • Approach angles • Facings • Multi pick/place for max throughput • Grippers included in configuration

  17. Define the product • Shapes • Physical dimensions of a box, bag, slip sheet, pallet et.c. • Item • Refers to an actual shape • Max speed, acceleration, rotation • Weight • Facing

  18. Flexible Application Concepts • Mixed product in-feed formats • Product distribution to multiple production stations • Mixing of multiple products to one stack • Bi-directional – Palletizing/De-palletizing • Logical Flow Control allows user to instantly change infeed for a product • Alternative infeeds can be configured for an out feed pallet

  19. Ease of Use Operation • Efficient operation from ABB’s graphical FlexPendant • Palletizing process control • Start/stop project • Control of individual production cycles • Event handler • Message and error reporting • Error recovery • Production information • Hot Tuning

  20. New in PM 5.01 Comprehensive Exception handler • Stop and recovery • Individually per flow and station • Selection of recovery actions • Customized Process Events • Reporting • Error/Warning/Message • Process stop from periferals • I/O mapping to periferals

  21. New in PM 5.01 Hot Tuning • Process parameter tuning • Item • Work area • Online from FlexPendant • Preset min/max tune values • Import/export of tune values between projects

  22. Open Interface to Line Control • Best fit to Station Logics PLC’s • Generic Station Signal Interface • Request • Status • I/O Communication configured for • Grippers • Conveyors • AGV´s • Quality inspection • Bar code reading

  23. Loaded With Features • Individual speed and acceleration control of products • Integrated tool configuration with activator zones • Manually adjustments of individual pick & place operations • Early request • RS simulation • Stack height checking • Collision avoidance • Flow • Backwards compatible • Error handling and Process recovery • Hot Tuning

  24. Handled with care • Set maximum speed, acceleration and axis 4 rotation • The configuration is linked to the actual product regardless what in-feed / out-feed it is using • Pick & place activation • Pick & place time • Advanced motion control

  25. Integrated tool configuration • Grippers configured in PickMaster 5 • I/O control of individual activator zones

  26. Manual override of calculations • Improve calculated pick & place operations • Manually adjustments • Facing • Approach angle • Numbers of products

  27. Utilize the Robot Performance • Early requests ensures high robot utilization • Minimize wait time for boxes • Robot may start movement even before pick up target is confirmed

  28. Simulate With Real Virtual Controller • Check cycle times • Check boundaries • Visualization

  29. Collision avoidance • Built in automatic avoidance of work objects in the cell • Possible to add safe points for the robot to pass through • Avoids collision with other fixed equipments

  30. Logical Flow Control • Improve system redundancy • Let the robot adapt to where you want to feed the products • Choose what in-feeds you want to use for what products on daily basis • Optimize robot utilization • Use two in-feed stations for one out-feed • Mix different products from different in-feed stations

  31. Licenses and options • IRC5 software options • Option 642-2 “Prepared for PickMaster 5” must be specified on robot controller • Works with all robots except parallel arm • IRB 2400 and IRB 4400 • The PC software is ordered on specification form for PickMaster 5 • Physical CD package DVD format • Possible to download from Intranet • Design license – one per PC • Package of 4 Design licenses

  32. Launch Material • Presentation • Brochure • Images • Press Release • Roll-up • Movie clip
