Working Principle
24 V DC power and CAN communication signals transmit through 10 m shielded cable to KRC2/KRC3 robot controller. All operator key/joystick input converted to digital CAN bus data packets sent to controller CPU. Controller returns real-time robot motion, alarm and program data to render graphical display on TFT screen. Hardwired safety deadman and E-Stop circuits form hardwired interlock chain independent of software logic to cut robot drive power when safety conditions violated.
Advantage Highlights
- Ergonomic curved handheld design reduces operator fatigue during long shift programming
- IP54 dust/splash resistance for automotive, metal fabrication harsh workshop environments
- Hardwired independent safety circuits eliminate software single-point safety failure risks
- Integrated high-capacity flash storage stores thousands of robot motion programs locally
- Direct compatibility with all KRC2 ED05 and KRC3 robot control systems without adapter modules
- Vibration and shock certified for floor-mounted robot cell continuous operation
Applicable Industries
Automotive assembly lines, metal stamping & welding, aerospace component machining, consumer electronics packaging, logistics palletizing, foundry automation, machine tool tending
Installation Requirements
- Connect only to matching KRC2 / KRC3 robot controller dedicated teach pendant port
- Route 10 m cable away from high-current welding cables with minimum 30 cm separation
- Mount optional wall storage bracket inside robot safety cell when not in operation
- Maintain cable bend radius ≥ 8× cable outer diameter to prevent internal conductor breakage
- Verify E-Stop and deadman safety circuit continuity after every cable disconnection/reconnection
Usage Precautions
- Do not submerge unit in liquid; wipe spills immediately with dry lint-free cloth
- Avoid impact drops onto concrete floor; shock damage breaks internal safety wiring
- Disconnect 24 V DC power before opening rear housing cover for maintenance
- Only use manufacturer-specified replacement cables; third-party unshielded cables cause communication loss
- Do not operate manual jog mode without robot safety cell physical guarding engaged
- Regularly inspect membrane keyboard for liquid ingress or conductive metal particle accumulation
