- Robotic Assembly Control Software
-
- RDX is a software package designed to control the assembly process on one
- robotic station. The program consists of five major modules: Operator Control
- Interface, Assembly Database Manager, Closed Loop Servo-axis Control,
- Integrated Machine Vision, and Online Help and Diagnostic
-
- This program brings a new level of sophistication to factory automation at the
- cell level. It is designed to run under the UNIX operating system on an
- industry-standard AT computer
-
- With RDX control software, all data necessary to complete an assembly is stored
- on the cell controller. This minimizes the communications required with a
- central line controller. In addition, RDX smart operator interface simplifies
- machine setup, and fault clearing
-
- One example of its capability is its use on the ATS MicroCenter, a four-axis
- machine for high-accuracy assembly of components onto circuit boards. The
- MicroCenter uses machine vision to precisely locate the artwork on a circuit
- board, and also to locate the leads of each component to be placed. As a
- result, the system in capable of placing components to accuracies of less than
- 0.0005 inches.
