The standard ArcWorld 6000 uses either a Motoman K6 or K10 robot
manipulator. The Motoman K6 and K10 robots and YASNAC MRC Controller
represent state-of-the-art technology in robotics today. The six-axis K6 robots have
a payload of 6 kg (13.2 lbs). They feature a 1,322 mm (52.01 in.) reach and have a
relative positioning accuracy of ± 0.1 mm (0.004 in.). The six-axis K10 robots
have a payload of 10 kg (22 lbs). They feature a 1,555 mm (61.2 in.) reach and
have a relative positioning accuracy of ± 0.1 mm (0.004 in.).
Each robot can reach below its own base as well as behind itself. These robots can
also be mounted in floor, wall, or ceiling configurations with few hardware
modifications. The Motoman K-Series robots have been constructed for ease of
maintenance, utilizing brushless AC servo motors with absolute positioning
encoders. All motors are readily accessible. A combination of capacitance and
lithium batteries in both the robot encoder assemblies and in the Motoman
YASNAC MRC controller protects program position data for up to one year. The
replacement life for the lithium battery is approximately three years.

3.4 MRM2-SERIES POSITIONER
The ArcWorld 6000 cell uses one of two different reciprocating positioners: the
MRM2-550 or the MRM2-1100. The MRM2-Series positioners are AC servo
controlled by the master robot to provide coordinated motion while welding or
between welds. The standard distance between the headstock and tailstock
faceplates on the MRM2-550 positioner is 2.6 meters (approximately 102"). The
standard distance between the headstock and tailstock faceplates on the MRM21100 positioner is 3.0 meters (approximately 118").
The load side of the positioner is fixed for loading and unloading parts. The
patented servo motor design of this ferris-wheel type positioner is used to sweep
the positioner workstations into and out of the robot envelope.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 18MOTOMAN
A fixture frame is typically mounted between the headstock and tailstock faceplates.
Fixtures are either mounted on or integrated to these frames for positioning and
clamping of production parts. Pneumatic and electrical signals can be run to the
fixtures if required. Depending on part size(s) and weight(s), single, multiple, or a
combination of parts can be mounted to the fixture frame to provide a highly
flexible system.
3.4.1Part / Fixture Rating
The combined weight of the part(s) and fixture(s) on each side of the MRM2-550
reciprocating positioner is 550 pounds (1100 pounds total). The maximum offset
load for the MRM2-550 is 375 pounds. The positioner will not sweep if the load
on one side is more than 375 pounds heavier than the load on the other side.
The combined weight of the part(s) and fixture(s) on each side of the MRM2-1100
reciprocating positioner is 1100 pounds (2200 pounds total). The maximum offset
load for the MRM2-1100 is 639 pounds. The positioner will not sweep if the load
on one side is more than 639 pounds heavier than the load on the other side.
3.4.2Swing Diameter
The maximum swing diameter for a part on the MRM2-550 positioner is 0.98
meters (approximately 37.4"). The maximum swing diameter for a part on the

3.4.3Temperature Operating Range
40 - 110˚ Fahrenheit.
3.4.4Humidity
Non-condensing 10 - 90% relative humidity.
NOTE:In high humidity areas, the tooling plate may rust or corrode. Surface protection should be
The MRC controller supplies the electrical power required to operate the 180˚
reciprocating positioners. These requirements consists of a 24 VDC interface
circuit, and a 208 VAC, 6.2 amp circuit for the MRM2-550 motor and drive, or a
208 VAC, 9.0 amp circuit for the MRM2-1100 motor and drive.
3.4.10Welding Current Rating
The MRM2 positioners have a welding current capacity of 700 amperes at 100%
duty cycle. The welding ground system consists of a spring loaded copper brush
that contacts a large ring mounted behind the surface of the faceplate. The ground
cable to the welding power source is connected to the ground stud located on the
right side of the positioner base when facing the back of the ArcWorld 6000 cell.
3.4.11Locking Pins
The MRM2-1100 positioner has sweep lock drive pins and fixture locking pins for
positioner Side A and Side B. There are two of each on the MRM2-1100. The
sweep lock pins keep the sweep axis from turning while the servo advances and
withdraws. The fixture locking pins are spring loaded, so when the servo
withdraws, the pins engage. This keeps the headstock from turning when the servo
motor retracts.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 20MOTOMAN
3.4.12Arc Shield
The MRM2 positioners are provided with a sheet metal screen for arc radiation

The Excel-Arc unit has two standard 115 V AC Receptacles (11). These provide
auxiliary power at a maximum current of 10 amps. For applications using the
water-cooled torch, the water circulator plugs into one of these receptacles.
3.7WELDING EQUIPMENT
In addition to the Excel-Arc power sources, the ArcWorld 6000 system provides a
complete complement of arc welding equipment. In its standard configuration, the
ArcWorld system includes the following:
•PWF-600 wire feeder
•UWI welding interface
•Either an air cooled or water cooled MIG torch
•Torch breakaway mount
3.7.1PWF4 Wire Feeder
The PWF4 wire feeder mounts on the robot arm. This 4-roll wire feeder provides
reliable wire feeding at rates up to 750 IPM. An integral gas valve provides fast
gas response time. The PWF4 feeder has an inch forward button to help simplify
set-up and reduce change-over time. The PWF4 wire feeder uses interchangeable
feed rolls to accommodate different types and sizes of wire.
3.7.2Universal Welding Interface (UWI)
The UWI interface provides microprocessor control to the wire feeder and power
source. It scales the signals from the MRC to the appropriate levels required for
control of the welding components. It also provides isolation of the power source
analog signals.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 25MOTOMAN
3.7.3MIG Torch
The ArcWorld 6000 uses either an air-cooled or water-cooled robotic/automatic
MIG torch. These are heavy-duty torches designed for quick replacement while
requiring minimum robot reprogramming. The MIG torch mounts on the end of
the robot wrist. For applications that use the water-cooled torch, the ArcWorld
6000 includes a suitable water circulator kit.
3.7.4RAM Breakaway Mount
A Motoman RAM torch breakaway mount protects the robot, workpiece, fixture,
and positioner. It provides multi-directional impact detection, including Z-axis
collisions. The torch breakaway causes the robot to stop immediately upon impact.
Keyed joints assure accurate re-alignment of components.
3.8SAFETY EQUIPMENT
The ArcWorld 6000 system incorporates a host of safety equipment. When all
standard safety precautions are taken, the safety equipment helps to ensure safe
operation of the robotic cell. The ANSI/RIA R15.06 Robot Safety Standard
stipulates the user is responsible for safeguarding.
Users are responsible for
determining whether the provided safeguards are adequate for plant
conditions. Users must also ensure that safeguards are maintained in
working order.
The ArcWorld 6000 safety features include the following:
•Arc screens
•Safety fencing
•Dual interlocking cell door
•Interlocked safety mats
•Emergency stop (E-STOP) buttons
3.8.1Arc Screens
Two separate arc screens are used on the ArcWorld 6000. The first is a metal arc
screen on the turntable positioner. This screen blocks arc radiation and sparks from
the welding operation. The material used to cover the safety fencing of the entire
robotic cell acts as the second arc screen. This material reduces the amount of ultraviolet radiation that escapes from the robotic cell.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 26MOTOMAN
➪
WARNING!
Although this screen blocks dangerous arc radiation, you should
not look directly at the arc during operation without protective
eyewear!
3.8.2Fencing
The safety fencing provided with the ArcWorld 6000 encloses the entire robotic
cell. It forms a physical barrier to prevent entry into the robot envelope.
3.8.3Interlocks
Dual safety interlocks on the cell entrance door prevent entry into the cell during
operation. The interlocks consist of a pull plug and magnetic door switch.
Opening the cell door with the robot in Play causes an E-Stop and shuts down the
entire system.
3.8.4Safety Mats
The safety mat provided with the ArcWorld 6000 helps prevent serious injury to
anyone entering the positioner area during the sweeping process. If a person steps
on this mat when the positioner is in motion, an E-Stop occurs causing the entire
system to shut down.
3.8.5Emergency Stops
In addition to the interlocking devices described above, the ArcWorld 6000 has
strategically placed emergency stops (E-STOPS). These are operator actuated
devices that, when activated, immediately cause the system to shut down. The
following is a list of their locations:
•The MRC control panel has one E-STOP button.
•The MRC programming pendant has one E-STOP button.
•The positioner operator station has one E-STOP button.
In addition, the following conditions also cause an emergency stop:
•Opening the cell door while the robot is in Play mode.
•Stepping on the safety mat while the positioner is sweeping.
•Loss of air system pressure.
•Activating the shock sensor.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 27MOTOMAN
4.0 OPERATION
This section provides operation instructions for the ArcWorld 6000 system.
Operation procedures include the following:
•System start up
•Part set up
•Normal operation
•Fault recovery
•System shut down
We have included several sample programs. The listed programs demonstrate the
proper format and instruction sequences for different operations. You can use
these programs as guidelines when creating programs for your specific
applications.
4.1 OPERATION
The ArcWorld 6000 is a fully integrated robotic MIG welding cell. The robot
welds on one side of the 180˚ reciprocating positioner, while the operator loads
parts on the opposite side. Once the robot is finished with its process, it return to
the safe position. The operator can then initiate the positioner sweep enabling the
robot to start welding on the next part.
The safety door interlocks prevent anyone from entering the cell while the robot is
in Play Mode. If anyone steps on the safety mats in front of the part loading area
during the positioner sweep, an E-Stop occurs.
4.1.1Start Up
To start up the ArcWorld 6000 from a power off condition, proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the MRC disconnect.
2. Turn on the power source disconnect.
3. Set the INPUT POWER switch on the welding power source to ON. The pilot
light should glow.
4. Set the Main Power switch on the MRC to ON.
5. Open the regulator valve on the welding gas supply.
6. Make sure that the enclosure door is closed and the safety plug is connected.
7. Press the TEACH MODE button on the MRC playback box. The indicator
lamp in the switch should light.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 28MOTOMAN
8. Press the SERVO POWER button on the MRC playback box. The indicator

4.1.2Loading / Unloading Procedures
The following is the typical sequence of operations for the ArcWorld 6000 Cell
after startup:
1. Load production parts on the fixtures located on the operator side of the MRM2
positioner.
2. Step off the safety mats and wait for the STATION READY indicator to light.
3. Press both CYCLE START palm buttons on the operator station to sweep the
positioner. This places the unwelded parts in the robot work envelope.
4. After the positioner sweeps, the robot begins the welding sequence on the parts.
Coordinated motion capabilities allow programming to rotate the parts on the
positioner, and weld or move the robot between welds at the same time.
5. Unload the welded parts from the fixture on the operator side.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 to continue production.
4.1.3Fault Recovery
Under varying conditions an alarm or error can occur. Clearing an alarm or error
condition may require different operator intervention depending on the nature of the
alarm or error. In some cases, simply resetting the robot and restarting the
operation is sufficient. In other instances, you must first remedy the condition
causing the alarm or error. Refer to paragraph 4.2, Alarms and Errors.
4.1.4E-STOP Recovery
An E-Stop can occur under one of the following conditions:
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 29MOTOMAN
•Pressing the E-STOP button on the operator station, the programming pendant,
or the MRC terminal.
•Opening the sliding door on the robot enclosure or removing the safety plug
when the robot is not in Teach Mode.

4.2 ALARMS AND ERRORS
Alarms and errors will cause the program to stop. There are three levels of alarms
and errors: Error Messages, Minor Alarms, and Major Alarms.
For more detailed information about alarm recovery, refer to your Motoman MRC
Manipulator Manual.
4.2.1Error Messages
These are simple errors such as pressing the START button when the robot is not
in Play mode, or enabling the programming pendant without the servo power being
live.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 32MOTOMAN
Errors like these are cleared by pressing the CANCEL or ENABLE button on the
programming pendant.
4.2.2Minor Alarms
Minor alarms are usually programming errors. Minor alarms might occur if a
circle has been programmed with fewer than three circular points, etc.
These alarms are cleared by pressing one of the following:
•RELEASE soft key on the programming pendant
•RESET button on the operator's station
•ENABLE button on the programming pendant twice
4.2.3Major Alarms
Major alarms are hardware failures. Major alarms might occur because of a servo
tracking error or an abnormal speed associated with crashes.
To clear these alarms, you must turn off the controller and then turn it on again.
4.3 PROGRAMMING
The MRM2 positioner with its programmable axis offers a high degree of
programming flexibility. The robot can be programmed to weld a part with the
headstock stationary, or the robot and headstock can move simultaneously to weld
a part while turning.
You can program the robots independently (R1 job), the station axis independently
(S1 job), or robot and station axis together (R1 + S1). You must select the axis
combination when teaching the job initially. We recommend programming the
robot and station axis together (R1 + S1 jobs) to reduce the risk of interference.
➭
WARNING!
The positioner axis operates as another robot axis and has the
potential of hazardous motion.
➭
CAUTION
If the robot is working on a part and the headstock is not turning,
DO NOT assume that the headstock will not turn. The robot is
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 33MOTOMAN
executing programmed steps which could index the headstock at
any time.
NOTE:The ArcWorld 6000 robot S-axis is restricted by hard stops on the robot base and internal soft
stops. Do not change.
4.3.1Cube Assignment
The system uses the Cube #1 Output as an interlock for sweeping. This is a
software zone around the tool center point (TCP). It should be defined with the
robot clear of the positioner sweep motion. The Cube #1 Output can be viewed in
diagnostics under Specified Outputs. To assign the K6 or K10 robot manipulator
position to Cube #1, refer to your MRC User Functions and Operator's Manuals.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 34MOTOMAN
4.3.2Sweeping Positioner to Side A
NOTE:Before sweeping, make sure the weight of parts and fixturing is approximately equal on Sides

axis (S1) 180˚ to align Side B.
8. The sweep locking pin engages.
9. The drive unit engages Side B.
When the positioner sweeps into position at Side B, the drive unit engages the
headstock. IN #10 turns off. Side A faces towards the operator, and IN #9, FIX.
A LOCK ON, turns on.
4.3.4Rotating Headstock
To rotate the Motoman MRM2 headstock:
1. Enable the programming pendant.
2. Press the GROUP AXES key and make sure the key LED lights.
3. Press the X+ or X- keys to move the headstock. Jog speed is set on the
programming pendant.
NOTE:The GROUP AXES key must be turned off to move the robots with the motion keys.
4.3.5Programming
You can program three types of moves:
•Rotation of the positioner during air cut moves.
•Robot motion with positioner stationary.
•Rotation of the positioner during welding.
The job you create may consist of a combination of the above. The first two types
of moves assume a robot plus station group axis specification (R1 + S1). The last
type of move is called station synchronous and should be programmed with a
station plus robot group axis specification (S1 + R1).
Rotating the Positioner During Air Cut Moves
1. Teach the robot to the desired position.
2. Rotate the positioner to the desired position.
a.Press the GROUP AXES button on the programming pendant so LED is
on.
b. Press MAN SPEED button to select the desired axis speed while teaching.
c.Press the first set of motion keys, +X or -X, to move the axis in the desired
direction.
3. Record the step after designating the motion type and playback speed.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 36MOTOMAN
4. Check the path with the STEP FWD/BWD keys. The position for the robot or
positioner may have to be altered to prevent torch interference.
➭
WARNING!
The positioner axis operates as another robot axis and has the
potential for hazardous motion.
NOTE:The GROUP AXES button must be turned off to move the robot.
NOTE:Normally, air cut moves are taught at Joint moves. The speed for Joint moves is specified as a
percentage of maximum speed (VJ=.01 - VJ=100.00). The axis which takes the longest time
to complete the programmed motion automatically determines the speed of the system. This
might be a wrist axis, a major robot axis, or the positioner axis. Cycle times can be reduced by
changing wrist orientation, robot position, and headstock position simultaneously between
program points rather than making the moves independently. Setting the speed at 100.00 will
normally establish the quickest time between steps.
Robot Motion with the Positioner Stationary
1. Program the robot position without moving the positioner axis.
2. Set motion type and speeds in the normal fashion.
Rotation of the Positioner During Welding
The MRC controller can coordinate motion with the external axis. This requires
calibration of the headstock and robot at the time of installation. Jobs programmed
for coordinated motion must be taught as S1 + R1 jobs.
Move instructions for coordinated motion are registered using the following
format:
Coordinated
motion instruction
SMOVL=138Slave side
(manipulator with torch)
MOVLMaster side
(positioner with workpiece)
In coordinated motion instructions, an "S" prefixes the instruction to the slave side.
ArcWorld 6000 Operator's ManualPage 37MOTOMAN
Converting Programs from Side A to Side B
The positioner uses the external axis to sweep the positioner in addition to driving
the headstock. This results in the external axis position being 180˚ offset from the
other side. This offset amount can be determined from the difference in the
external axis pulse counts at the two sweep positions. Software can be used to
modify the position of the external axis in a job copied to run on the opposite side.
1. Determine the pulse count difference of the external axis between Side A and
Side B.
2. Set the pulse count offset amount into an EX variable.
3. Make a copy of the original job. Designate the proper side in the original and
copied job name.
4. Use the Modify Position (MODPOS) function to change the position of the
external axis in the program.
5. Step through the new program to verify the path.

5.3 FUSE AND CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION
Tables 5-3 through 5-7 give the locations of fuses and circuit breakers that are
significant to the operation of the total system. In most cases, MRC spare fuses are
placed in the accessory bag with the MRC.
➪
WARNING!
Replace fuses with the same type and rating. Replacement of
fuses with higher amperage rating or lower voltage will damage
the robot controller and/or auxiliary equipment necessitating
costly replacement.
Abbreviations:
CB – designates circuit breaker
F, FU or 101FU – designates fuse

This document was prepared to explain the rationale behind the safeguarding of
MOTOMAN's ArcWorld 6000 robot cell.
It is the User's responsibility to
review this document and verify that the safeguards are adequate for their
plant conditions. This review should include the current revision of ANSI/RIA
R15.06 American National Standard for Industrial Robot Systems - Safety
Requirements. The User must also ensure that safeguards are used and maintained.
SAFEGUARDING PERSONNEL
Safeguarding Plant Personnel
•Barrier around robot work envelope.
•Interlocked gate for access to cell.
•Curtain around cell blocks ultra-violet radiation from arc.
•Serious hazards are identified by warning labels.
Safeguarding Operator
•Interlocked gates stop robot motion if opened in PLAY mode.
•Dual sensors on interlocked gates make safeguards difficult for operator to
defeat.
•Emergency Stop button on operator station.
•Two station positioner keeps operator out of robot work envelope.
•Extended length safety mats are interlocked to stop positioner motion when
activated. Requires reset at operator station to restart.
•Robot program will wait for Cycle Start buttons before sweeping positioner.
Risk AssessmentPage 2MOTOMAN
ArcWorld 6000
•Cycle Start has dual palm buttons, anti-tie down, positioned for two hand
operation.
Safeguarding Teacher
•Interlocked gate: Active in PLAY mode; Inactive in TEACH mode.
•Clearance of 24" between robot and fencing.
•Emergency Stop button on programming pendant.
•S-axis motion restricted by hardstops.
•TEACH LOCK prevents operation from controller while programming
pendant is enabled.
•Sweeping of positioner from pendant requires deliberate action.
•Continuous stepping is at reduced speed.
Safeguarding Maintenance Personnel
•Robot controls are outside barrier.
•Positioner controls are inside cell, but do not require robot drive power to
troubleshoot.
•Electrical energy sources equipped with lockout/tagout.
•Programming pendant displays I/O status and other diagnostic functions.
SOURCES OF HAZARDS
Unauthorized Access
•Interlocked barrier.
•Dual interlocks, difficult to defeat by operator.
Human Errors in Judgment
•Safety mat interlocked with positioner.
•Dual palm cycle start.
•Emergency Stops on operator station, robot controller, and programming
pendant.
Control Errors
•Most Safety features independent of program logic.
Risk AssessmentPage 3MOTOMAN
ArcWorld 6000
•Program must have instructions to wait for palm buttons to sweep.
Risk AssessmentPage 4MOTOMAN
ArcWorld 6000
Mechanical / Electrical Failures
•Safety mat supplied with fail-safe circuit.
•Redundant door interlocks.
•Interlocks designed to fail-safe.
•Robot has sophisticated control loop designed to remove drive power in case of
positioning error.
Environmental
•Sheet metal partition and UV curtain to help prevent eye damage from ultra-
violet radiation.
•UV curtain helps contain welding sparks.
NOTE:Fume ventilation may be required depending on application and plant conditions. (To be
determined and provided by USER.)
NOTE:Care must be used when handling and securing compressed and combustible gasses. (User
supplied.)
Installation Defects
•Safeguards will place the robot in Emergency Stop unless they are correctly
connected.
•Safety fence is self supporting when fully erected (fencing should be lagged).
•Equipment is shipped on bases to ease installation and provide a secure
mounting surface (robot base needs to be leveled and lagged).
Power System Failure or
Inadvertent Power Initiation
•Easy recovery from power failure.
•Different levels of power up; primary power on, controller power on, servo
power on, and robot start. Difficult to inadvertently start.
EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
Risk AssessmentPage 5MOTOMAN
ArcWorld 6000
Human Errors
•Torch breakaway protects robot and torch in the case of a torch crash.
•Cube interlock requires the robot to be in a "safe" position before the positioner
can index.
Power Faults
•Isolation transformer and circuit breaker protect robot from power surges.
•Robot "remembers" its position and place in program at power down.
•Data has battery backup and can be saved on optional floppy disk drive.
WHAT-IF CONSIDERATIONS
What if personnel reach over safety mat and pinch an arm on moving parts?
Extended length mats are provided to help prevent inadvertent access to moving
parts.
What if there is a hazard not covered by a warning label?
Labels are provided on positioner, robot, power source, feeder, transformer, and
robot controller. Persons working on equipment should have adequate training to
identify hazards.
