Method for training a planar transport device, planar transport device that can be trained by such a method, and production and/or transport machine with such a planar transport device
A method for teaching a planar transport device, in which an operating behavior of at least one handling element of the planar transport device, which is configured as an electrodynamically movable mover and is configured for handling products, is taught by an operator interaction of an operator, which is designed differently from a manual writing of a programming command. The operator interaction takes place directly, preferably free of an additional operator input device, at the handling element in order to specify the operating behavior of the handling element.
1 . A method for teaching a planar transport device, wherein in at least one method step an operating behavior of at least one handling element of the planar transport device, which is configured as an electrodynamically movable mover and is configured for a handling of products, is taught by an operator interaction of an operator, wherein the operator interaction is configured differently from a manual writing of a programming command, wherein the operator interaction takes place directly at the handling element in order to specify the operating behavior of the handling element, wherein in at least one further method step a change in a magnetic field is evaluated for a detection of position data of the handling element, which are used for a detection of a movement path of the handling element.
2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a movement of the handling element along a movement path and/or around a movement axis is detected by a sensor unit of the planar transport device, and is converted by a control or regulation unit of the planar transport device into an electronic command, which is stored in a memory unit of the control or regulation unit as part of an operating program for a control or a regulation of the operating behavior of the handling element.
3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a movement of the handling element along a movement path and/or around a movement axis is detected by a sensor unit of the planar transport device, and is interpolated by a control or regulation unit of the planar transport device.
4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a teaching process is started or ended by a movement of the handling element relative to a movement surface element of the planar transport device.
5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a force acting on the handling element during a movement of the handling element along a movement path is detected in order to assess a presence of an obstacle on the movement path, wherein if a limit value of the force acting on the handling element is exceeded, position data of the handling element are automatically stored in a memory unit of a control or regulation unit of the planar transport device.
6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an operator interaction for teaching the operating behavior of the handling element is confirmed by the handling element by an optical and/or haptic output of the handling element.
7 . A planar transport device comprising at least one handling element configured as an electrodynamically movable mover and comprising at least one control or regulation unit which is configured for teaching at least one operating behavior of the handling element by the method as claimed in claim 1 .
8 . The planar transport device as claimed in claim 7 , comprising at least one movement surface element, comprising at least one electromagnetic drive unit, and at least one sensor unit at least for detecting a position and/or a movement of the handling element relative to the movement surface element.
9 . A production and/or transport machine comprising at least one planar transport device as claimed in claim 7 .
10 . A method for teaching a planar transport device, wherein in at least one method step an operating behavior of at least one handling element of the planar transport device, which is configured as an electrodynamically movable mover and is configured for a handling of products, is taught by an operator interaction of an operator, wherein the operator interaction is configured differently from a manual writing of a programming command, wherein the operator interaction takes place directly at the handling element in order to specify the operating behavior of the handling element, wherein in at least one further method step a force acting on the handling element during a movement of the handling element along a movement path is detected in order to assess a presence of an obstacle on the movement path, wherein if a limit value of the force acting on the handling element is exceeded, position data of the handling element are automatically stored in a memory unit of a control or regulation unit of the planar transport device.
