One of our managers has gotten a quote for a Yamaha RCX340 for a project.
Anyone have any experience with this product?
Do you program it with a PLC or program all of the moves etc. in the RCX340.
I briefly looked it over since I was asked to review it and it appears all the moves can be programmed in the RCX340 and you would just give it a start type signal.
If I remember correctly about a year ago I had a Rep tell me that you could use AOI instructions for the Compact Logix plc to control Yamaha Robots but we went with something else since all the machines already have Micrologix plcs. We probably have close to a thousand of the micrologix 1400 units which is why we did not go with the Yamaha, instead used a Sure Servo unit from Automation direct for less than half the cost.
