PRODUCT

A teach pendant is a handheld device used to control and program industrial robots. It is an integral part of a robotic system, allowing operators to interact with and command the robot through a user interface that typically includes buttons, switches, and a display, or in newer models, a touchscreen.

Why are teach pendants important?

Teach pendants exert a significant function in robotics systems and industrial automation for the following reasons:

  • Direct Control

    Robot teach pendants provide a means for operators to directly control industrial robots, allowing for manual guidance and precise positioning during tasks such as setup, calibration, and maintenance.
  • Ease of Use

    Teach pendants are commonly used to input and edit robot programs. With user-friendly interfaces that simplify the programming process, robot pendants can be accessible to operators without extensive computer knowledge.
  • Safety Mechanisms

    Robot pendants typically include an emergency stop button, which is a critical safety feature that allows immediate cessation of robot movement in response to potential hazards.
  • Versatility

    Robotic Teach pendants are versatile tools that can be used across various robotic applications, from industrial automation to research and development. Robot pendants support a wide range of functions, including programming, troubleshooting, and manual operation, making them indispensable in diverse robotic systems.

How to keep regular maintenance of teach pendants?

Regular maintenance of robot teach pendants is essential to ensure their optimal performance and longevity, especially in demanding industrial environments. Here are some maintenance suggestions for teach pendants:

  • Cleaning

    Wipe the teach pendant’s display screen, and functional components with a soft cloth dampened with clean water or a mild detergent. Pay special attention to removing oil stains and dust, to prevent poor touch sensitivity and corrosion.
  • Inspection

    Check the robot pendant on a regular basis to prevent foreign objects or liquids from entering it. Protect the device from the following environmental influences: direct sunlight or heat sources, mechanical vibration or impact, dust, humidity, and strong magnetic fields.
  • Safety Switch

    Regularly test the emergency stop switch and verify that the enable switch’s safety function is operating correctly on the teach pendant.
  • Proper Installation

    Ensure all cables are properly connected according to wiring definitions when inserting connector plugs. Cables should be neatly arranged, and connectors securely inserted to avoid any safety function failures.
