Danger1.2.2.
Safety Equipment for Operators1.2.2.1.
- For safety reasons operators must wear protective eyewear when using the backlight
NOTE :
It is the customer responsibility to install warning signs informing that anyone working around
the Asycube must wear safety equipment.
Specific danger1.2.2.2.
Backlight
The Asycube has an integrated
Backlight that persists of LED’s (Light
Emitting Diodes). These LED’s emit
visible or non-visible radiation
depending on the color of the
Backlight. LED’s illumination can
create discomfort, cornea, retinal and
lens damage.
Figure 1-1 :Specific warnings
The used LED are class 0 according to the norm EN 62471, It is the responsibility of
customers to document their own application and instruct employees on procedures to limit
exposure to LED radiation. Following prevention agent can be suggested:
A. Interpose, insofar as the job allows, a high pass filter at x nm depending on the color (see
table below) under a fixed or adjustable connection between the source and the
employee
B. When the implementation of the foregoing is not possible, provide workers with goggles
or face shield suitable for blocking radiation beyond 700nm;
C. Prohibit or limit as possible direct access to the source (exposure in the axis of radiation),
see “Conditions of use of products TPL VISION” below
D. Establish a security perimeter to prevent operators from approaching the source at
distances beyond the nominal ocular hazard recommended by the manufacturer
E. In all cases, ensure that the means used properly mitigate exposure variables
(characteristics of screens or goggles to choose based on wavelength which operators
are exposed).
Refer to “5.1 Condition of use of backlight" on page 39 for the complete calculation sheet on
minimal distance to respect for each kind of backlight.

Temperature
The active elements into the asycube
make the surfaces shown on the
picture heating up to 45°C in nominal
use. This temperature can
nevertheless increase to 55°C in
extreme use.
It is the responsibility of customers to
document their own application and
instruct employees on procedures to
avoid contact with these surfaces

2. Description
First glimpse at the product2.1.
Asycube sets new standards in small part feeding. Its 3D vibratory platform allows fast and
flexible presentation of small parts (1 mm to 40 mm) to a robot equipped with a vision system.
The core of Asycube is a platform that can vibrate in three orthogonal directions. By selecting
appropriate vibration signals, a high flexibility in displacing parts on the platform is reached
(forward, backward, sidewise) and flipping is made possible.
It consists in :
(A) A 3D vibrating platform (called "plate")
(B) Electrical interfaces (communication,
power supply, I/Os…)
For more information on electrical
interfaces to the Asycube, please refer
to “2.4. Electrical Interfaces” on page 16
(C) An integrated mechanism allowing to
remove the platform easily without
additional tooling
(D) An integrated backlight (D) (optional)
that allows an easy recognition of the
parts from a camera placed above
Figure 2-1 : Asycube overview
For more information on how to remove or change the platform, please refer to ”4.3.2.
Remove the platform module”on page 29
For more information on the procedure to control the platform vibrations, please refer to the
HMI manual
For more information on the backlight color and the procedure to exchange the backlight,
please refer to “4.4.1 Exchanging / installing the backlight”on page 31

Standard movement
2.3.2.1.
To define a specific movement with
the Asycube several parameters need
to be configured. For each movement
on the cube, twelve parameters must
be set. Calling these twelve
parameters will generate specific
vibrations (corresponding to the sum
of the movements of the four
actuators in each corner of the
platform).
The figure on the right shows the
predefined standard movements.

Advanced movement
2.3.2.2.
On the Asycube Largo A5, advanced
movements can be achieved. Indeed,
it is possible to center the
components along the long side or
the short side of the plate, as
represented on the figure on the right.
With a sequence of three movements
you can spread easily the parts on the
surface :
1. Center (long side)
2. Center (short side)
3. Flip

stay OFF (e.g. to secure IR backlight danger). As a consequence, you must get a
24V signal on the S-Power to be able to use the backlight.

Attachment of the Asycube2.5.1.
To guarantee a proper behavior of the Asycube a tight fastening to a solid underground is
necessary. The holes in the base plate of the Asycube can be used to attach it with four M6
screws.
Repeatable positioning of the Asycube can be done by using positioning pins (possible on
both sides).
