Robot technologies
continue to evolve and one of the most promising developments is the
application of artificial intelligence (AI). We are already seeing some AI
functions that affect robotics. For example, 3D vision sensing,
where the adjustment time is significantly reduced by AI. The
Accuracy of force detection is also improved by AI technology
integrate with the force sensor.
Perhaps one of the
Major trends in AI related to robotics are the improved
predictive maintenance technologies. Machine learning algorithms
provide even more insight into the operation of the machine, not only through the
compare current performance with a predetermined baseline, but
to continue making decisions on real-time data and trends
from the past.
Mitsubishi introduces
the "MELFA Smart Plus card package" and the "MELFA Smart
Plus card" with improved predictive maintenance and improved
force sensor features for enhanced functionality in the MELFA-FR series. The
new features include Mitsubishi Electric's original compact
AI technology, Maisart ® * 1, to achieve 60% reduction in both cycle time and
to realize the system start-up time to contribute to a higher
productivity at production sites.

State of the ART in technology
Product Features
1) Reduces downtime by
to detect deviations in advance (predictive maintenance)
- The predictive maintenance function
uses Maisart to provide early warnings of deviations in
drive products * 2, which are built into robots, to detect and display
provide, which helps reduce downtime.
- Highly accurate predictive maintenance
is achieved by simply inserting the card into the robot controller,
without adding any other device or sensor.
* 2 Gearbox,
motor encoders and batteries to maintain the position information memory
retain
2) Shortened cycle time with
automatic parameter adjustment (improved force sensor)
- Maisart automatically adjusts the parameters
on systems using force sensors * 3.
- The cycle time is reduced by 60% * 4
reduced compared to a conventional method due to the pressure exerted
exerted on target objects to control, resulting in higher speed
achieved comparable to that of skilled human hands.
* 3 Gearboxes,
motor encoders and batteries to maintain position information memory
* 4Compared to the
reference value for inserting connectors based on conditions that
have been determined by Mitsubishi Electric
3) Shorter start-up time due to
automatic program generation (improved force sensor)
- Start and end points for operation
only need to be entered to automatically generate a program
for the shortest possible operating time.
- Shortens system boot time
by 60% * 4 compared to a conventional method.
Curious about this AI
developments for your application. We would be happy to make an appointment
to go into this in more depth.
