System Overview
The EcoTrim-1024 System provides a complete trimming solution in a
standardized configuration. There are two available tables that can be
selected for the EcoTrim-1024 System cell assemblies, the MSR-355
(standard) and the MSR-655 (optional). The payloads are 355 and 655 kg
per side of the table. The EcoTrim-1024 system is designed around a
single Motoman MH24 robot, a DX200 controller, and the Ultrasonic
trimming process.
The EcoTrim-1024 System uses the servo driven rotary positioner. The
rotary positioner allows an operator to prepare and set up parts on one
side of the positioner while the robot trims on the other side.
The EcoTrim-1024 System features a total safety environment that meets
or exceeds the requirements of the ANSI/RIA R15.06-2012 standard and
is designed to safeguard both personnel and equipment. Heavy-gauge,
wire-mesh safety fencing prevents unintended entry of personnel into the
work cell while it is in operation.
Dual-interlocked access doors on each side of the work cell provide
convenient access to equipment while providing a safety interlock to
disable all equipment should these doors be opened while the robot is
active.
A dual-channel safety light curtain system provides a “sensing field” in
front of the rotary positioner through use of an infrared light beam. Rotary
positioner motion is prevented whenever an operator is in a position to
disrupt the sensing field of the light system. In addition, maximum robot
travel is physically limited by an S-axis “hard stop” at the base of each
robot.

EcoTrim-1024 System.
Safeguards for the system complement the system operation while
protecting the people that will program, operate, and/or provide
maintenance to the system. Possible pinch points and other hazards from
the risk assessment process determined needed safeguards and
interlocks. While the system design safeguards the support and operation
staff, it does not protect against misuse of the system. Misuse of the
system includes, but is not limited to, climbing over/under barriers,
climbing over/under interlocked doors, or disabling/bypassing of system
interlocks.
During the install and commissioning process the end user must ensure
tooling, ancillary equipment, etc. have not introduced additional hazards
into the design. This evaluation ensures that the system will provide safe
and reliable operation. The Risk Assessment document should be
reviewed for installation of the system and prior to operation. Any changes
and additions to the system require full review of the Risk Assessment
document.
