The Branson TDR Series two-dimensional robots are microprocessor or PLC based automated parts handling systems. Designed by cleaning people for use in cleaning operations, these units are ruggedly constructed and appropriate for use in either production or clean room environments. TDR Series transport systems are available in two weight ranges (up to15kg and up to 50kg) and a variety of heights to accommodate most production needs.

PROGRAMMABILITY

TDR Series transport systems can be programmed through any of three ways:

• Entering x/y coordinates into a hand-held keypad
• "Self - teaching" by walking the unit through the program using the hand-held keypad
• Downloading a previously stored program from a PC through the onboard RS-232 connector

Operating steps can be inserted, deleted, or replaced simply by using keystrokes. The microprocessor has the capacity to store up to 255 steps which can be divided among a maximum of ten programs.

CONTROL FEATURES

The microprocessor is contained in a compact 19" rack-mountable control box. Located on the front of the box are: auto/manual mode selector, keypad pendant connector, RS-232 port, manual motor controls, an emergency stop switch, and LED display devices. LED displays indicate position and current activity as well as error codes if the self-diagnosing software senses problems.
