Stock Product: Stock product is product MEAU makes every effort to have on hand for immediate shipment. There may be instances when we are out of stock due to unexpected large requirements. All stock product will be indicated in this book by an “S” in the Stocked Item columns/rows.
Non-Stock Product: Non-stock product is product supplied on an “as-needed” basis. Standard lead times of 12 - 16 weeks apply, product is non-returnable and non-cancelable. Product listed as non-stock may change to stock product subject to increases in sales and usage. All non-stock product will be indicated in this book by a dash “-” in the Stocked Item columns/rows.

Mitsubishi Electric’s line of robots covers a wide spectrum of configurations and capacities that are ideal for small to medium robot applications. As part of the Mitsubishi Electric family of world class automation products, Mitsubishi robots integrate directly to complete a single-source automation solution.
Quality and reliability have proven to be the standard for Mitsubishi robots which have been globally accepted and performing with maximum up-time since 1980.
Mitsubishi robots are built to the meticulous standards that have become synonymous with Mitsubishi Electric.
Available in 4, 5, or 6 axis configurations, all units come standard with an impressive list of features and utilities that simplify design and commissioning. MELFA 64 bit RISC processor controllers are compact but robust with great flexibility and communication options. The programming software is very comprehensive in its abilities including, simulation, CAD to program conversion, diagnosis and monitoring.

Windows®Vista.
Equipped with simulation functions• Compatible with all models connecting to the CR_-500 series and
CR_-700 series controllers. • Robots can be operated and takt time calculated using a personal
computer. (Not supported in the mini version.) • Robot operations and operating status, input signals, and servo
status can be monitored.
Support for all processes from programming and startup to maintenance• Programming editing is compatible with MELFA-BASIC IV and V
and MoveMaster languages. (May vary depending on the model)• Robot operations and operating status, input signals, and servo
status can be monitored.
Full array of maintenance functions• The program is equipped with the remote maintenance function
that notifies users of robot greasing periods and battery life cycles, a position recovery support function for when trouble occurs, etc.and is effective for preventative maintenance and shortening of recovery times.
• Batch backup can be performed for the entire system using data management by project.
Mitsubishi Electric Automation | Robots 481
Program Editing and Debugging FunctionsCreate programs in MELFA BASIC IV, V and MoveMaster languages. Work operations were made more effective and the various editing functions more complete through use of a multi-window format. This is useful for checking operations including the execution of program steps, setting of breakpoints, etc.
Monitor FunctionsThe program execution status and variables, input/output signals, etc. are monitored.
3D ViewerThe 3D viewer enables checking of the posture and movement of the robot, verification of limit values for user-defined areas, the arranging of virtual layouts of peripheral parts based on base objects, and other tasks.
Maintenance FunctionsThis function is for maintenance and includes remote maintenance and position recovery support functions, a parameter management function, etc.
Simulation FunctionsCreated programs can be executed on a personal computer, enabling operation checks and measurement of tact times for designated parts of a program. This is also effective for preliminary system reviews.

MELFA-WorksA 3D robot simulator offering powerful support for system design and preliminary review. MELFA-Works makes it possible to run robot simulations on-screen. Programs can be created that match the era of high-mix, low-volume manufacturing, for layout reviews before robots are installed, program debugging on desktop, and production of complex operation pathways.
What is MELFA-Works?MELFA-Works is an add-in tool (*2) for the 3D CAD software “SolidWorks®” (*1) (hereinafter, SolidWorks®). By adding MELFA-Works to your SolidWorks® platform, you can add new features to, and extend the existing functions of your current robot simulation system.
Automatic Robot Program Generation FunctionYou can automatically generate teaching position data and robot operation programs, which are required to operate your robot, by simply loading 3D CAD data (*3) for the applicable works into SolidWorks® and then setting processing conditions and areas using MELFA-Works. This function is ideal if you are dealing with workpieces of complex shapes, since you can automate the operations for your system requiring numerous sets of teaching position data.

Loading of Part Data from Peripheral Devices and RearrangementPart data created in SolidWorks® can be loaded. The positions of loaded parts can be rearranged relative to the CAD origin and other parts. The positions of parts can also be changed using numerical input.
Installation of HandsHands designed/created in SolidWorks® can be installed on robots. An Auto Tool Changer (ATC) can also be specified for each hand.
Handling of WorkpiecesYou can simulate hand signal control using a robot program to handle workpieces.
CAD LinkYou can easily create operation data needed to perform sealing and other operations requiring many teaching steps. All you need is to select the target area to be processed from 3D CAD data. Since operation data is created from 3D CAD source data, complex three-dimensional curves can be recreated with ease. This leads to significant reduction in teaching man-hours.
Offline TeachingYou can teach the robot posture on the screen in advance.
Creation of Robot Programs (template)You can create a work flow by combining the offline teaching and CAD link functions, and then convert it into a robot program. (MELFA BASIC IV, V format)
Specification of Robot ProgramsYou can directly use the programs you are using with actual robots. You can also specify a different robot program for each task slot.
Simulation of Robot MovementRobot programs, including I/O signals, can be simulated. This means that movements of the actual system can be recreated directly and accurately. The following two methods are provided to simulate I/O signals of your robot controller. (1) Create simple definitions of operations associated with I/O signals (2) Link I/O signals with GX Simulator.
Display of Robot Movement PathRobot movement paths can be displayed in space as trace lines.
Interference CheckInterference between the robot and peripheral devices can be checked. A target of interference check can be specified simply by clicking it on the screen. You can also save information explaining the condition of interference that occurred (such as the contacted part, program line that was being executed when the interference occurred, and corresponding robot position), to a log.
Saving of Video DataSimulated movements can be saved to video files (AVI format)
Measurement of Cycle TimesThe cycle time of robot movement can be measured using an easy-to-use function resembling a stopwatch. You can also measure the cycle time of a specified part in a program.
Robot Program Debugging FunctionsThe following functions are provided to help you debug robot programs. Step operation: A specified program can be executed step-by-step. Breakpoint: Breakpoints can be set in the specified program. Direct execution: Desired robot commands can be executed.
JoggingThe robot shown in SolidWorks® can be jogged just like you normally jog a robot using a teaching pendant.
Traveling AxisA traveling axis can be installed to a robot to verify the operation of your system equipped with a traveling axis.
CalibrationPoint sequence data of CAD coordinates created by the CAD link function can be corrected to robot coordinate data. Operation programs and point sequence data can also be transferred to robots. To provide greater convenience for operators who perform calibration frequently on site, the calibration tool is provided as an application independent of MELFA-Works. Accordingly, the calibration tool can be operated effectively on a notebook computer in which SolidWorks® software is not installed.
