The Motoman Robotics Div. of Yaskawa America, Inc. has introduced a hardware and software interface for its six-axis industrial robots that’s said to easily accommodate the requirements of parts removal from horizontal injection molding machines. The SPI-67 interface can be installed in the YRC controller and connected to HC-Series and GP-Series Yaskawa Motoman robots.

The SPI-67 interface is said to comply with EuroMap 67 standards for robot-to-press communications and with U.S. SPI electrical interface guidelines. A 50-pin connector acts as a physical link between the robot and the injection machine. Dual-channel/redundant safety signals allow direct connection the press. The SPI-67 transmits standard handshaking signals such as door status, robot operating and ejector position.
The new interface mounts within the YRC-1000 controller, so there is no need for an additional cabinet. Direct Connect I/O cards allow easy access to the robots native 40 inputs and 40 outputs, while adding valuable relay outputs. Two unused dual-channel safety contacts can be used to interface with safety input devices, such as light curtains or safety scanners, or can be paired with the Functional Safety Unit (FSU) output functions to obtain dual-channel, dry-contact safety-rated outputs.
