New YouTube robot channel from the founder of the Robotforum

Since 29.05.2020 there is the brand new channel around (industrial) robotics by and with Werner Hampel.
A lot of cool content around robots, their planning, programming and maintenance as well as interesting product presentations.
Be part of it and help to let the channel grow fast to keep getting fresh news about industrial robots.
As soon as the German channel has 1,000 subscribers, I will start shooting English language videos.
Until then you can check out our playlist of videos with English subtitles.

Robots vs. Corona

If we could, we would probably skip this time and move on to a time after Coronavirus, where not every conversation is about this pandemic, where the ones of us who are locked in can finally go out and see their friends again.
COVID-19 will certainly remain a big topic in the months to come because we need to find solutions, and we need to talk about how to better react when the next pandemic happens.
So in this article, we want to discuss one possible solution for preventing a catastrophe like this.

    I'm pretty sure you can't use UALM in BG logic. You could use BG Logic to issue a UOP hold but would need another way to indicate the issue to the operator.

    Probably best…

    Safe zones are another thing I need to learn about. I haven't been involved in that part of setting up a robot yet, so I haven't learned how to do it. But I have a feeling that the main programmer in my factory probably hasn't done it right. He's more…

    Just out of curiosity, I have seen a lot of topics relating to BGLogic, which is something I'm not yet familiar with. Is this something that could work as BGLogic program so that it can check continuously instead of at a single point in the program?

    I tend to use IF THEN statements alot. so that isn't an issue. I find IF...., JMPLBL annoying for most purposes.

    I put the code in just as you said, and it worked just fine. Thank you very much.

    Anyone have an idea on how this can be accomplished? The KUKA rep cut me off with a staunch "no, give up", but I don't believe that since they also said EKRLXML won't run.
