IAI Intelligent Actuator

IX SCARA ROBOT	X-SEL CONTROLLERS	ROBO CYLINDER
The IAI IX SCARA Robot is perfect with high speed pick and place applications. Part insertion, dispensing and assembly prove to be it strongest features. These units are easy to use, integrate and afford. Pair the IX Scara Intelligent Actuator up with our Cognex or DVT Vision system and you have a winning Solution.	The IAI X-SEL family of controllers require no special programming. The use a simple configuration package which allows even the basic user to be successful. With a large amount of I/O to interface with PLC systems and field devices, the X-SEL Intelligent Actuator Controller is the perfect controller.	The IAI electric ROBO Cylinder incorporates a servo or stepper motor.It is programmable and very low maintenance Intelligent Actuator. Best of all, there is no air supply required.

Actuator Specifications
With a current maximum horizontal reach of 600 mm (800mm from June 2003)and a maximum vertical reach of 300 mm, the IX Series features a maximum payload capability of 10 kg and a maximum speed of over 7000 mm per second.

• Maximum speed of 7121mm/sec
• Minimum cycle time less than 0.5 seconds*
• Maximum rated payload of 10 kg
• Full interpolated path motion capability
• Minimum positioning repeatability of ± 0.015 mm
• Vertical axis with 200 or 300 mm stroke and 360° rotation

*Based on a 1" upward move, 12" horizontal move, 1" down move and return using the IX-500-200.

Controller Features
Using an enhanced version of IAI's SEL programming language (specifically designed for non-programmers), the acclaimed X-SEL® controller takes advanced applications and makes them plug & play easy.

You will dramatically reduce your engineering time and costs with the built-in-commands that simplify traditionally tedious programming tasks related to palletizing, dispensing, machine vision integration, and more.

Ethernet networking (from Q3 2003), high speed multi-tasking, synchronous drive control, infinite motion, expandable I/O and a unique "Push" function (for control of compression and torque) are just some of the benefits you get using the X-SEL® controller.

X-SEL CONTROLLERS

• No programming experience required
• 2-axis synchronous control
• Unique "Pus" function for torque control
• Built-in commands to reduce engineering time
• Dedicated or Expandable I/O

Now a range of Robo Cylinder (RCS) and DS servo actuators can be made to run with X-SEL®! Contact us for details.

ProThe X-SEL® advantage is simple: it makes complex programming easy. The X-SEL® controller and software are pre-engineered to handle both advanced and common tasks with simple, pre-programmed commands.

Built-in Palletizing 3D Palletizing Using Just 3 Points	Multi-Axes Synchronization Fast & Easy Implementation
Z-Axis "Push" Mode Easy Control of Torque & Compression	3D Path Capability Award-winning Speed & Accuracy

With dramatically increased CPU speed and intelligence, the X-SEL® marks a major advance in the acclaimed SEL controllers series. Here are just some of its advantages:

• Multitasking programming capability - run up to 16 programs at once
• Extensive user I/O (no need for a PLC!)
• ARC, PATH and CIRcular interpolated motion
• High speed, multi-axis 32-bit control
• RS232 Networking capability
• Highly Expandable
• Up to four axes of control
• Flexible e-stop recovery - no need to home after E-stop
• Easy line-by-line troubleshooting with a service-enhanced error display and recorded history of errors
• Expansion of the SEL programming language

SEL System Architecture
Customer demand for multitasking is the driving force behind X-SEL® technology. To be able to handle up to 64 programs - and 16 different ones at the same time, there is a separate main CPU and motion CPU to split the duties of the motion control. Click on the link below for a diagram of the SEL internal architecture.

Programming - the SEL Language
The X-SEL® controllers are run by a user-friendly language known as "SEL". It's a mnemonic language in which 3 and 4 letter commands hint towards the actual process. Examples of the commands from earlier versions are "HOME" and "VEL".

The SEL Language requires no previous programming experience. 90% of the applications need only 15 unique commands, greatly reducing the learning curve and time needed for system development.

While 90% of the applications only use 15 commands, there are over 100 commands available that allow for Serial Communication, Serial Networking, multitasking, and more!

Programming is done either via hand-held teach pendant or our affordable PC Interface Software.
