    Spel software for seiko robots

    Hi,
    Was wondering if anyone here has experience with seiko robots, particularily SPEL for windows or Darlspec??
    I want to know if there is a way to proggram a seiko/epson robot to be used as an engraver for text (this is a small robot), I only see point to point movements available? Am I correct? or am I just not being creative enough?

    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have an accussembler from seiko and I use it as a CNC.
    Though your message is old, I would like to know if you have solved your problem?
    Thanks

    Hi mahia2005

    how have you got your robot setup
    does it use spel for programing or have you retrofitted it
    i have a Suwa Seikosha SSR-H 414 but i dont have anything to program it with and have been having trouble finding a copy of spel for windows
    any info would be greatly appreciated
    cheers

    Hi Harty,
    I have a floppy disk with software inside (it uses SPEL language). I have also the paper documentation (offered to me by a lithuanian researcher. Many thanks to him).
    It seems than the software can work with SSR H503N MZ manipulator.
    My robot is a cartesian one, driven with SRC 42 control unit.
    I use the robot as CNC mainly. From time to time i do OTP programming on it.
    I am looking for a tool to convert points data from DXF to spel compatible format.
    Do you have a copy of spel to setup your robot?
    Thanks

    Hi mahia2005

    thanks for the reply
    i have a Suwa Seikosha SSR-H 414 not functioning at the moment it has an error code come up that i cant get a descrition for i have a manual but it lists error 20 with no info and finding any info on the net has been difficult to say the least
    and unfortunatly i dont have any software to program it
    i was considering retrofitting it with emc2 as i run it on both my lahe and mill
    but at this point i would love to just get it moving

    cheers

    Hi harty,
    You need SPEL to run your machine.
    Here I use SEHSPC.exe (size: 238k). it's the SPEL software.
    Do you have this software in your computer?
    In my manual there is nothing in front of error 20.

    Hello and sorry for such a tardy reply!

    I am running a 4 axis seiko TT8030. I am using Darlspc/spel software.
    I had a hard time loading the controller interface to my laptop as there was not much detail in the manual I have. I had to modify (in DOS) my ANSI files and Config files to get the interface to work.
    then it was trial and error building comm. cables to interface between controller and PC...I learned a lot about comm cables this way....
    Right now I can do a 2d image in autocad, I have to plot in all the "X/Y" co-ordinates manually, until a another person (can't remember the name at the moment) gave me a small autocad macro program that created a simple X/Y list right onto the cad drawing. I then take those values and manually type them into the spel software adding in Z heights and wait points ect..
    This is very time consuming. I have looked into useing the EMC2 software but never really had a chance to figure it out as, my first son was born and other priorities took over in life. I am still interested in finding a more modern interface, I know that there is spel for "windows" but it wont work with my 1980's dinoausar of a robot.
    Error code 20 in my manual just says "reserved" I would presume it is for the operating sys/start up checks or some darn thing?

    Re: Spel software for seiko robots

    I have a SRC310 with a H454BN robot arm. I really need some software to programme SPEL? this since i got it from a company that never used the software itself.
    I am trying to use it in education.
    regards johan
