IV – 1. 4. Program selection
Two situations are possible when changing production :
SELECTION AND CREATION
SIMPLE SELECTION
2. The mould and the gripper head have already
worked together on the IMM with the robot. In
this case, the program already exists.
1. The mould and the gripper head have never
worked together on the IMM with the robot. In
this case, the program does not exist and must
therefore be created.
See chapter IV – 2. page 23.
First, move the robot into adjust mode so that it can be positioned in the IMM (Machine axis
sensor active and gripper head inside the mould).
The first adjustments to be made are to find a mould open position where the part can be removed by
the robot.

It is necessary to adjust the mould opening stroke and the ejector strokes in order to obtain the safety
margins. Obviously, the smaller the safety margins, the shorter the robot intervention time in the
mould.
The robot memory contains a certain number of predefined cycles for the most usual applications. The
cycle types are called “SAP source programs” (see description sheets).
The S900–II control system can create a new program itself. You just have to mark from which SAP
source program the new program must be created. This new program has the same structure as the SAP
source program used for its creation.
The specific positions in this new program need to be taught when the first cycle is executed.
