What is the SafeSkin?The SafeSkin, an accessory crafted from silicone, is tailored for seamless integration with the CR series. It elegantly attaches to the J4 to J6 joints of the robotic arms. Concealed within this silicone shell are components adept at detecting fluctuations in electromagnetic waves, bestowing the CR series with the remarkable ability to sense nearby foreign objects. This forms the foundation for the SafeSkin's pre-collision detection feature. Functioning in harmony with the CR series, the SafeSkin excels at pre-collision detection. Its adeptness lies in sensing obstacles within a range of 15 cm, upon which it promptly instructs the robotic arm to execute evasion maneuvers. TS 15066 stipulates that conventional collaborative robots must operate below 250 mm/s to ensure safe interaction with humans upon contact. With the added advantage of the SafeSkin, the CR series achieves safe collaboration even while operating at speeds of up to 1 m/s. This represents a fourfold enhancement in speed, delivering remarkable performance gains while unwaveringly upholding safety standards.

-
How much noise emission does the CR series generate while in operation?The noise emission level is 65 decibels.
-
What are the ways of debugging programs written for the CR series?Programmers have several tools at their disposal for debugging programs. These include the utilization of the print function to display specific information, employing a step-by-step debugging tool to meticulously analyze code execution, and strategically setting breakpoints to pause execution at desired points for closer inspection. Moreover, in scenarios where the program involves TCP or Modbus applications, an additional avenue for debugging emerges. This entails employing external devices to facilitate the transmission of test data, thereby aiding in the thorough debugging process.
-
What is the maximum operating speed of the CR series?The maximum speed of the different models varies as follows: CR3 reaches 2 m/s, CR5 achieves 3 m/s, CR7 maintains 3 m/s, CR10 attains 4 m/s, CR12 also hits 4 m/s, and CR16 achieves 3 m/s. It's important to note that achieving the maximum operating speed might not be feasible for short-distance operations.
-

Ports 29999, 30003 and 30004 are for TCP/IP secondary development, don’t occupy them. Port 29999 is used for initialization instructions. Port 30003 is used for motion commands. Port 30004 is used for information printing.
-
How many IO channels are there on the CR series, and is it easily expandable?The control box of the CR series is equipped with 16 digital outputs and 16 digital inputs. Notably, these 16 digital outputs can be multiplexed to function as digital inputs as well. In cases where the available number of IO ports is insufficient, expansion options are available through the utilization of an IO expansion module. To facilitate this, the CR series currently offers a standard digital IO expansion module.
-
Does the CR series work with AGV, and does the control box need to be modified?The CR series is compatible with AGV systems, often establishing communication via Modbus master/slave stations. Considering that AGV batteries typically operate within the 45V to 55V range, an inverter or a switch to a DC-powered version of the CR control box is required. This transition can be seamlessly accomplished by indicating the need for such a modification when placing an order.

How to integrate AMR into automation?Enterprises within the supply chain sector are incorporating mobile robots into tasks necessitating the movement of diverse materials or items. These robots can constitute a completely automated group, called fleet, facilitating the transport of goods between storage facilities or linking production areas with warehouses. AMRs possess straightforward programmability and can seamlessly integrate into a wide array of indoor settings, encompassing even the more intricate and dynamic industrial environments. Here's a general outline of the integration process: 1. Assessment and Planning: Evaluate your current automation needs and processes to identify areas where AMRs can add value. Determine the specific tasks or materials that the AMRs will handle. Define the goals and objectives of integrating AMRs, such as improving efficiency, reducing labor costs, or enhancing safety. 2. Robot Selection: Choose the appropriate AMR model(s) based on your requirements, such as payload capacity, navigation capabilities, and battery life. Ensure compatibility with your existing infrastructure and any required communication protocols. 3. Map Creation and Navigation: Create digital maps of the areas where AMRs will operate using software or by recording the robot's movements. Define waypoints, paths, and potential obstacles within the maps. Set up navigation systems, which could include laser scanners, cameras, and sensors, to enable the AMRs to move autonomously while avoiding obstacles. 4. Programming and Configuration: Use the AMR's programming interface or software platform to configure its behavior, routes, and tasks. Define pick-up and drop-off points, storage locations, and any interactions with other machinery or workers. 5. Testing and Optimization: Conduct thorough testing of the AMRs in a controlled environment to ensure proper navigation, obstacle avoidance, and task execution. Fine-tune the robot's parameters, such as speed, acceleration, and braking, to optimize performance. 6. Integration with Other Systems: Integrate the AMR with your existing automation systems, warehouse management software (WMS), or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software. Enable communication between the AMRs and other equipment, such as conveyor systems, elevators, or robotic arms. 7. Training and Workforce Collaboration: Train your staff on how to interact with and manage the AMRs safely. Establish protocols for human-robot collaboration and ensure workers understand the capabilities and limitations of the AMRs. 8. Monitoring and Maintenance: Implement a monitoring system to track the performance, status, and location of the AMRs. Schedule regular maintenance and updates to ensure the robots operate at their best. 9. Scale and Expand: Once the initial integration is successful, consider expanding the deployment of AMRs to other areas of your facility or additional tasks. 10. Continuous Improvement: Gather data and feedback to identify opportunities for further optimization and continuous improvement of your AMR integration.

How do they move in the warehouses?Unlike AGVs (automated guided vehicles), which rely on cables, magnetic strips, or warehouse-installed sensors for guidance, AMRs navigate using maps generated by software within the environment, along with laser scanners or pre-loaded facility blueprints. This process is akin to a GPS-equipped car with preloaded maps, determining the optimal path between points. AMRs are directed to memorize locations, retrieve and distribute items through an intuitive interface. By utilizing data from integrated cameras, sensors, and laser scanners, coupled with sophisticated software, AMRs identify their surroundings and select the most efficient route to their destination. Operating autonomously, they adeptly circumvent obstacles like forklifts, pallets, humans, or other impediments by choosing the best alternative path.
