Teach Pendant
30 May 2024
I just wanted to write a quick post about our fully integrated teach pendant for easy control and programming. Most of our customers are happy using the motion panel embedded within the software but for those with larger systems or in instances where the control tower must be situated some distance from the machine, computer control is impractical or impossible. The teach pendant allows the operator full system control using independent jog buttons for each axis or combined controls for slopes, contours and kinematic moves. At the push of a button, coordinates can be sent to TiCore for easy remote scan pattern programming. The ultrasonic gate output means you can also check the signal response without having to run back and forth between the system and the controller. The pendant talks directly with the controller for maximised response time and the unit is hard-wired with an in-built emergency stop for enhanced safety and regulatory compliance.
This is available to purchase on new systems or as an upgrade to existing EtherCAT based systems.
