uniVAL drive „ready to plug“ robot solution for generic multi-axis controllers

Product features:

• "Ready to plug" solution to drive Stäubli’s entire range of 4 and 6 axis robots with generic industrial multi-axis controllers
• Easy integration of Stäubli robots
• Simple and fast procedure
• Saves time, costs and resources

uniVAL drive is a "ready to plug" solution to drive Stäubli’s entire range of 4 and 6 axis robots with generic industrial multi-axis controllers.

uniVAL drive eases the integration of Stäubli robots and makes the procedure simpler and faster than ever before – saving time, costs and resources

uniVAL drive offers benefits in terms of:

Performance:

• Arm behavior benefits from Stäubli’s know how and arm behavior algorithms
• Supports major real-time fieldbuses (e.g. Sercos III, Ethercat, Powerlink, Profinet IRT ...)
• Full system access from the master controller (robot I/O, drive internal status, robot control information)
• Simple integration based on standardized protocols using drive profiles (e.g. Sercos drive profile, Profidrive, CiA402 …)
• The entire machine (servo axis, robot, HMI, I/Os ...) is driven by one single control platform
• Programming is done with the well-known language of the master industrial multi-axis controller

Safety:

• Joint couplings, safety controls and absolute robot calibration are handled by the uniVAL drive
• Servoing and robot behaviour are mainly managed by the uniVAL drive using proven servo control algorithms
• uniVAL drive implements safety functions CAT3/Pld as defined by ISO 13849
