Yaskawa Motoman Introduces Complete Virtual Industrial Robotics Solution for Education
MotoSim Touch delivers a “real world” virtual robotics experience at a fraction of the cost of purchasing an industrial robot.
Dayton, OH - MotoSim Touch is a cost-effective, PC-based off-line programming environment and robotics simulation tool for K-16 schools, training organizations and educational research institutions. It provides instructors and students with a fully functional production environment for Yaskawa industrial robots and FS100 controller. MotoSim Touch delivers a "real world" virtual robotics experience at a fraction of the cost of purchasing an industrial robot.
The package includes MotoSim Touch, a programming pendant and MotoSim EG-VRC (MotoSim Enhanced Graphics - Virtual Robot Controller) for Education. MotoSim Touch allows students to toggle between a virtual pendant and a hardware pendant. In either mode, they utilize MotoSim EG-VRC for Education, a comprehensive off-line programming and simulation software package. The virtual pendant and hardware pendant both utilize Yaskawa Motomans easy-to-use INFORM III programming language.
"We feel that MotoSim Touch represents a major workforce development-driven product that will help bridge the education community to industrial robotic automation companies," mentioned Bob Graff, senior sales manager, education.
This STEM-aligned environment gives students a hands-on experience for robotic modeling and programming, and it teaches industry-recognized, career ready robotics skills. Users can become proficient with a wide variety of robot functions, such as robot path, speed, enhanced multiple robot control, independent/coordinated motion, and external axis control and coordination.
Students can create robotic applications including programming, modeling and diagnostics in the simulation environment. Those applications can be saved to a flash drive so that the user can move his or her program from the simulation environment directly to the classroom robot.
At this time, MotoSim Touch is available only to the educational market.

BitFlow Introduces 6th Generation Camera Link Frame Grabber: The Axion
BitFlow has offered a Camera Link frame grabbers for almost 15 years. This latest offering, our 6th generation combines the power of CoaXPress with the requirements of Camera Link 2.0. Enabling a single or two camera system to operate at up to 850 MB/S per camera, the Axion-CL family is the best choice for CL frame grabber. Like the Cyton-CXP frame grabber, the Axion-CL leverages features such as the new StreamSync system, a highly optimized DMA engine, and expanded I/O capabilities that provide unprecedented flexibility in routing. There are two options available; Axion 1xE & Axion 2xE.
The Axion 1xE is compatible with one base, medium, full or 80-bit camera offering PoCL, Power over Camera Link, on both connectors. The Axion 2xE is compatible with two base, medium, full or 80-bit cameras offering PoCL on both connectors for both cameras.
The Axion-CL is a culmination of the continuous improvements and updates BitFlow has made to Camera Link frame grabbers.
