Outline

The MC8 is a controller that controls the positioning mechanism driven by an AC servo motor, such as X-Y table.

Shown below is a system configuration sample using the MC8 controller.
First, move the X-Y table using the teach pendant to store the position into the controller memory. At the same time, store other conditions for synchronizing with external equipment. After that, in automatic operation, the controller drives the X-Y table as programmed, reading out the data stored in the memory.
The operation method is same as the RC8 controller robot.

Note in operating the MC8

The MC8 is functionally equivalent to robot controllers except the MC8 cannot specify arm mechanism. Using any of the following motions and commands in the MC8, therefore, may cause an unexpected movement. It is dangerous.

• CP motion (linear interpolation MOVE L or circular interpolation MOVE C)
• Tool movement
• Rotate command
• Coordinate instruction movement (DRAW)
• PALT command
• APPROACH command
• DEPART command
• Spline Move S
