An industrial robot performs a machine loading and unloading operation. A PLC is used as the cell controller. The cell operates as follows: (1) a human worker places a part into a nest, (2) the robot reaches over and picks up the part and places it into an induction heating coil, (3) a time of 10 sec is allowed for the heating operation, and (4) the robot reaches into the coil, retrieves the part, and places it on an outgoing conveyor. A limit switch X1 (normally open) is used to indicate that the part is in the nest in step (1). This energizes output contact Y1 to signal the robot to execute step (2) of the work cycle (this is an output contact for the PLC, but an input interlock signal for the robot controller). A photocell X2 is used to indicate that the part has been placed into the induction heating coil C1. Timer T1 is used to provide the 10-sec heating cycle in step (3), at the end of which, output contact Y2 is used to signal the robot to execute step (4). Construct the ladder logic diagram for the system.
