Series Features

Best of Class variety of off-the-shelf models (cleanroom, water resistant, wall mount, & more)
X-SEL® controller for exceptionally easy programming, calibration and troubleshooting
Absolute encoders (standard)
Profibus, DeviceNet, CC-Link, & Ethernet (from Q3 2003) Network Communication
Z-axis "Push" function for easy control of compression force and torque
Award-winning path control and 3D path capability
Interference check zones: User-defined outputs turn on when a zone is violated (you can set as many as 10 zones)
Easy connector access and cable management
- I/O, pneumatic, and electrical connections conveniently positioned at the top of the unit for easy access
- Hollow vertical Z-axis for convenient routing of electrical cables and pneumatic lines for end-effectors
- Alarm LED lights located on the top face of the robot for clear and immediate indication of any problems
- Brake-release button also located at top to facilitate manual teaching of points

Actuator Specifications

With a current maximum horizontal reach of 600 mm (800mm from June 2003)and a maximum vertical reach of 300 mm, the IX Series features a maximum payload capability of 10 kg and a maximum speed of over 7000 mm per second.

Maximum speed of 7121mm/sec
Minimum cycle time less than 0.5 seconds*
Maximum rated payload of 10 kg
Full interpolated path motion capability
Minimum positioning repeatability of ±0.015 mm
Vertical axis with 200 or 300 mm stroke and 360° rotation

*Based on a 1" upward move, 12" horizontal move, 1" down move and return using the IX-500-200.

Controller Features

Using an enhanced version of IAI's SEL programming language (specifically designed for non-programmers), the acclaimed X-SEL® controller takes advanced applications and makes them plug & play easy.

You will dramatically reduce your engineering time and costs with the built-in-commands that simplify traditionally tedious programming tasks related to palletizing, dispensing, machine vision integration, and more.

Ethernet networking (from Q3 2003), high speed multi-tasking, synchronous drive control, infinite motion, expandable I/O and a unique "Push" function (for control of compression and torque) are just some of the benefits you get using the X-SEL® controller.

Truly User-Friendly Software

Assign your own names to all points & variables
Run operations line-by-line for easy fine-tuning and de-bugging
Control torque and compression with the innovative "Push" function
Teach just 3 points then use the "Palletize" command to have the controller calculate the rest
