Panasonic manipulators Print this page
Very accurate positioning with the compact Panasonic 'Pana Dice' manipulators. These manipulators are freely programmable. The Pana Dice manipulators are available in 200, 500 and 1000 kg. Very heavy products can also be welded with a Valk Welding robot, using manipulators up to 5000 kg.
By means of a manipulator, the robot can easily be placed in an ideal welding position. The product can be tipped to enhance the robot range.
Pana Dice Manipulators:
- completely freely programmable workpiece manipulator
- controlled from the Panasonic external axes controller
- if desired, enhanced with the Harmonizer software to manipulate the product during welding
- high rotational speeds (up to 25 rev./min with full load)
- high loads (standard up to 2,000 kg)
- very large turning range
- optimal integration with the Panasonic robot control
- standard earth transmission of 500A (70% ID) via special lubrication over the bearings
- standard hollow axes for possible cable feed-through moulds
- “reset” function for multiple-rotation
- universal concept
- accurate universal face plates with bearing edge and dowels
- simple mounting thanks to machined surfaces
- compact
- high-frequent protection (for among others TIG and plasma applications)
- thanks to modular construction each manipulator type can be constructed with these “building stones”
- possibility for 100% recovery in case of reconstruction to other configurations
