Gudel Gantry Robots with the S4C+ (ABB) 6-Axes Robot Controller

Gudel Gantry Robots with the S4C+ (ABB) 6-Axes Robot Controller

(OP)
Does anyone have experience with the Gudel Gantry robots, or can provide feedback on the programming effort required for the newer ABB S4C+ robot controller?

A coworker strongly dislikes the older ABB S4 controllers because of their commandline style programming.  Is the new version improved?  How is the reliability/stability of the system?

Can anyone recommend a more simplistic "parameter-based" robot controller?  

Thanks greatly.  This controller will be used to control 5, and possibly 6 axis for two seperate gantry style robots.

Thanks in Advance,

Try looking and talking to these people if you want to take a look at a different brand of robot controller which is easier to use.

They are currently using K5 teach pendant which is windows based, very easy. You can control up to 16 axis on one controller including gantry systems.
