Our Die Cast Engineers are going to purchase some ABB Robots Model # IRB 4400 with S4Cplus Controllers. They will be used to extract the castings out of the die cast machines and possibly place them on a trim die. Anybody have any comments on these? We have one other big robot and it is a Moto Man and we have a small table top Seiko robot. All comments are welcome as I may have to do some integration of these to our machines.
Thanks.
Steve
Thanks.

As with any new project training is a must. Send your electricians to the ABB school to learn the controllers. They also have programming schools available.

I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I've not been able to get near the PC to accomplish much of anything it seems like. I wanted to be sure and get it downloaded and checked out before I responded.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble I'd like to bother you for the Syntax files.

The syntax files for crimson editior will be on there way. I will also Try to post the text from these files on this forum. I think my comment about robot studio brought the attention of the administrator & he removed my faq which really annoyed me, at no time had I mentioned that I would be charging for these services. Iam more interested in developing a reputation, there is no better advertising than word of mouth. The program consulting is not an option as a business line for us in any case as our systems intergrator agreement with ABB will not allow it. So I do apollogise to the programming consultants that I may have upset.

RE: ABB Robots
Way to go, it is nice to hear that you are dragging them into the future. It is my bet they are kicking and screaming the whole way. I might suggest that you take a class or two on robot programming though. Calling a service rep to do all your programming will cost you a lot. Besides it is a lot of fun.

RE: ABB Robots
or is there any optional board we have to buy along with the robo's standard package?. I am asking this because we have two motoman welding robos and unfortunately the integrator does not want to revel much of the things. the TEACH box.. i am really fedup with that.If it is through PLC i feel ok. feel free to ask if you need any further clarifications
RE: ABB Robots
We are getting ready to order 2 more and I have requested for the optional DH+ card.
The quote for your robot should tell you how you will communciate to the robot with your SLC.
