Motman JRC Controller

The Motoman JRC 2001 controller is one of the smallest controllers in its class. Its compact, but sturdy construction minimizes footprint and allows for easy mounting under conveyors, in control cabinets, or in other small places. It is lightweight and easy to install.

This controller is ideal for robotic applications such as small part handling, assembly, semiconductor, wafer transfer, assembling liquid crystal displays, disk handling, and packaging small items such as cell phones.

Two lightweight, easy-to use programming pendants are available – a compact version for simple programming operations, and an enhanced version with a 6.5-inch color touch screen, designed to simplify complex programming through Windows®-like, interactive operation. Both pendants include an improved three-position safety switch.

The JRC 2001 programming language is full-featured and easy-to-use. It also allows programs to be created and maintained off-line on a PC. With PC-based programming, the user can calculate cycle times and observe robot motion in a simulated workcell without physically operating the robot. Programming is further simplified by optional libraries of subroutines which allow programmers to quickly access frequently used programs.

JRC 2001 options include Ethernet, DeviceNet (master and slave), floppy disk drive, vision sensor interface, and external axis control of up to two axes.

Features & Options

• 32-bit RISC architecture and digital servo drives
• Compliant with R15.06-1999 ANSI/RIA standard
• JRC programming language with icon-driven interface
• May be used in a “No Teach Pendant Mode” for production
