Huge transport robot developed to handle glass as thin as paperYaskawa electric Corp., the largest manufacturer of industry robots in Japan, produces a wide variety of robots including coating robots for automotive industry and transport robots for semiconductor wafers and LCd mother-glasses. A newly developed transport robot designed for the tenth generation LCd panel production line has been delivered to a major LCd manufacturer, and is quite different from conventional designs. Yaskawa perfectly integrates the company wisdom through a horizontal cooperation beyond internal departments to develop the new robot.

Developing a transport robot for large LCD (liquid crystal display) displays has a lot of new challenges that conventional industrial robots did not have. Yaskawa Electric announced the transport robot for the tenth generation (10G) LCD panel at end of November 2007, and started to sell it in December 2007.

The MOTOMAN-CDL3000D was awarded with the President Award of the Japan Machinery Federation of eight excellent awards in the Robot Award 2008 held by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) in December 2008.


A mother-glass for the 10G LCD panel measures 2.85m long by 3.05m wide with only 0.7mm thin. Why is it so large? This is because the 10G glass corresponds to 15 LCD panels for 42-inch LCD TV while a conventional 8G glass corresponds to only 8 LCD panels. Productivity may be almost doubled, leading to lower production cost.

Conveying thinnest glass substrate like paperThe robot carries very thin and huge glasses from equipment to equipment or from equipment to cassette and vice versa. You can easily imagine how the glass is so huge and thin compared with a usual A4-sized paper with 0.1mm thickness. A mother glass is 134 times larger than an A4-sized paper measuring 210mm by 297mm, and only 7 times thicker. This means the mother-glass seems to be thinner than a paper. The robot conveys very fragile paper-like glasses. “It seems like fluid rather than a glass substrate,” said Masahiro Ookura, General Manager, FPD Robotics Business Division of the company.

Handling it requires a tightly-controlled technology. Furthermore the robot must have a wide stroke of 4.5m height upward and downward, to put LCD glasses in and out to thermal processing equipment. LCD manufacturing equipment must also increase a throughput of a number of processed glasses per hour, meaning that the robot requires higher speed operation. The height of the robot must not be too high so that it can be carried into LCD factories. And the size of the robot in a sleep state should be relatively small to carry it onto a truck. Furthermore, dust should not be generated as it operates in a clean room of LCD factories.

The new robot overcame these challenges, and was delivered to a major LCD panel manufacturer.

difficult to achieve it with evolutional technologiesThrough the MOTOMAN-CDL3000D development, engineers realize that it would be difficult to achieve the new robot with evolutional robotic technologies. In a conventional robot with a linear up/down scheme, the range of up/down stroke requires 4.5m, and it was too long to convey into a factory. So, the main pillars with 4.5m height had to be cut to two portions, and re-assembled at their customer’s factory. Therefore, LCD panel manufacturers had to schedule the re-assembly operation. The procedure requires a very tight minute by minute schedule. LCD panel manufacturers have accepted the linear pillar robot, according to Ookura. The linear pillar scheme has a structure that needs filters to absorb and exhaust air, just like an inflator of a bike, leading to periodical exchange of the filters.

On the other hand, an elbow-bent scheme robot requires over 2.25m long in each elbow for a stroke of 4.5m, and it might be too long horizontally in a bent state to adopt the scheme in a production line. It is unacceptable. Also a robot required a small footprint. The only advantage is that it is maintenance-free, since there is no mechanism needed in absorbing and exhausting air.

Gathering wisdom from LCd and Automobile TeamsBoth schemes had advantages and disadvantages, and it was impossible to just extend the mechanism for larger glass panels. So, the new project of the robotic development integrates two wisdoms of LCD development and automotive line development teams. The LCD team knows customer’s requirements very well, while the automotive team has other know-how from automotive requirements. The different industry group meeting makes sense of educing technical ideas, according to Ookura.

At the initial stage, both teams discussed periodically to share technical information once a week. It took three to five months to complete an architecture design. However, once a target design completes, it took only three months to produce a prototype.

2.5m Height Machine Achieves 4.5m up/down strokeThe newly-developed “up/down double-link pillar type” consists of double elbows to maneuver up/down operation. The double-elbow system has three arms. The robot has a pair of the double elbow structure on both sides. The pair of double elbow systems supports a wide and thin mother-glass. Two driving motors are installed in a double-elbow system, which means there are four motors in the robot. Furthermore, four motors operate cooperatively, leading to the smooth operation in not only vertical operation but also horizontal operation. In a horizontal operation, Yaskawa added a twist operation.

In the lower elbow, the arms operate in 180 degrees, quite different from conventional methods. Conventional elbow-bent scheme was able to operate only up to 90 degrees.

The newly developed robot transports a glass substrate with 3m by 3m at a horizontal speed of 4m per second, along with a high accuracy of less than 3mm fluctuation at the tip portion of the glass. In addition, it can correct a shift less than 50mm horizontally.

Yaskawa plans to expand the robot product series to the lower-end LCD panel factories of 7G and 8G designs. The newly developed machine will be applied not only to LCD factories but also thin-film solar cell factories.

Microchip continues to provide innovative products which are smaller, faster, easier to use and more reliable. The 8-pin FLAsH PIC® microcontrollers (MCU) are used in a wide range of everyday products, from toothbrushes, hair dryers and rice cookers to industrial, automotive and medical products.

Microchip Tips ‘n’ Tricks 8-Pin Flash Pic® Microcontrollers

The PIC12F629/675 MCUs merge all the advantages of the PIC MCU architecture and the flexibility of FLASH program memory into an 8-pin package.

They provide the features and intelligence not previously available at this price and size. Features include a 14-bit instruction set, small footprint package, a wide operating voltage of 2.0 to 5.5V, an internal programmable 4MHz oscillator, on-board EEPROM data memory, on-chip voltage reference and up to 4 channels of 10-bit A/D. The flexibility of FLASH and an excellent development tool suite, including a low-cost In-Circuit Debugger, In-Circuit Serial Programming™ and MPLAB® ICE 2000 emulation, make these devices ideal for just about any embedded control application.

The following are two of a series of Tips 'n’ Tricks that can be applied to a variety of applications to help make the most of the 8-pin dynamics.

Tip 1. dual speed rc oscillator

1. After reset I/O pin is High-Z2. Output '1' on I/O pin3. R1, R2 and C determine OSC frequency4. Also works with additional capacitors

Frequency of PIC® MCU in external RC oscillator mode depends on resistance and capacitance on OSC1 pin. Resistance is changed by the output voltage on GP0. GP0 output '1' puts R2 in parallel with R1 reduces OSC1 resistance and increases OSC1 frequency. GP0 as an input increases the OSC1 resistance by minimizing current flow through R2, and decreases frequency and power consumption.

summary:GP0 = Input: Slow speed for low currentGP0 = Output high: High speed for fast processing

Tip 2. Read three states from one pin

To check state Z:Drive output pin highSet to InputRead 1Drive output pin lowSet to InputRead 0To check state 0:Read 0 on pinTo check state 1:Read 1 on pin

Jumper has three possible states: not connected, link 1 and link 0. The capacitor will charge and discharge depending on the I/O output voltage allowing the "not connected" state. Software should check the "not connected" state first by driving I/O high, reading 1 and driving I/O low and reading 0. The "Link 1" and "Link 0" states are read directly.

Industrial MarketEnergy-efficient technology is vital to the industrial market. This year and beyond, connected intelligent electronic systems will continue to mature to enable greater performance-per-watt solutions and improved electric power management for virtually every facet of the industrial market.

The industrial market is characterized by enormous application diversity best served by general-purpose MCUs, such as Freescale’s ColdFire® family and 8-bit S08 devices. Highly integrated, general-purpose MCUs will continue to dominate in applications such as industrial motor control, lighting control, building and factory automation, digital power supplies, remote power management, smart metering and large appliances.

A Microcontroller view of 2009

Looking through the end of 2009, Microcontroller (MCU) manufacturers will continue to respond to market and social demands for sustainable products and technologies. Advanced ultra-low-power technologies have permeated countless embedded applications across many industries, and system designers are relying on silicon suppliers to play an integral role in their efforts to improve the energy efficiency of their end products. MCU suppliers, in particular, must continue to meet market-driven requirements for higher performance, increased connectivity, lower cost and ease of design, yet with a strong emphasis on addressing the growing demand for green manufacturing and energy-efficient control.


In addition, advances in personal medical technology are revolutionizing home health care and helping to make cost-effective tele-health a reality. Portable medical devices can perform diagnostic and treatment functions similar to equipment that has been traditionally limited to hospital environments, and remotely transmit gathered data to physicians anywhere on the globe. Advanced sensor technology can be used to collect data, such as body temperature or blood pressure.It has the ability to transfer this information to a highly integrated low-power MCU, which then processes the data and transmits it through an on-chip IEEE® 802.15.4 wireless module to an internet gateway where it can be accessed through any internet connection.

Today’s MCUs are designed to enable intelligent building automation and smart grid systems, such as smart metering, a rapidly growing application within the utilities industry to address power distribution challenges. Many countries, for example, use different electric power tariffs for different times of the day. With integrated Ethernet or an additional RF component, an MCU-based smart meter can share metering data, enabling an entire system of smart meters to be coordinated from a single location. Smart meters allow home and commercial electrical systems to automatically communicate power consumption data to utilities and end users. Controlled by high-performance MCUs, smart metering can help people and business change their power-use habits, enabling a far more efficient use of the available power.

Offering a high level of connectivity and measurement control will help drive new industrial applications. By connecting many different nodes in a building or factory, climate and lighting control can readily adapt to changing environmental conditions. Freescale’s ColdFire MCUs with on-chip USB and Ethernet provide the advanced control and connectivity solutions required for intelligent building control.

Automotive Market

To increase fuel mileage, reduce harmful emissions and improve safety systems, automotive system designers rely on electronic control units (ECUs) that each year are becoming more sophisticated, efficient and cost effective. In 2009 and beyond, market demands and governmental regulations will continue to push automakers to produce leaner, greener and safer vehicles that employ such advanced features as tire pressure monitoring systems and adaptive cruise control. Automakers, in turn, look to semiconductor suppliers for silicon solutions that help them meet these regulatory and market demands.

High-performance MCUs in powertrain electronics will continue to drive improved fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. Freescale’s Power Architecture™ MCUs provide mainstream controller solutions in nearly half of all powertrain ECUs. MCU-controlled electronic systems also enable the next wave of safety systems designed to reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents. Powerful 32-bit MCUs, including multi-core devices, are controlling sensor-based safety systems, which are rapidly evolving from passive to active to predictive safety systems.

To continue developing highly-intelligent automotive systems, Freescale embraces collaboration with other technology leaders to help drive innovation in automotive microelectronics. Shared resources permit faster new product development to meet the growing demand for high-performance solutions. A case in point: Freescale and STMicroelectronics are collaborating to co-develop cost-effective Power Architecture MCUs engineered for powertrain, chassis, motor control and body systems, and to provide dual-sourcing capabilities for jointly designed MCUs.

Conclusion2009 will see a greater emphasis on energy efficiency than any previous year. Each year from now on will demand leaner, cleaner applications that still provide exceptional functionality and performance. Energy-efficient MCUs with integrated connectivity options will remain the cornerstones for cost-effective, environmentally friendly system designs in the industrial and automotive markets.
