Hello
I have robot with KRC1 GM cabinet (cabinet have keylock Aut T1 T2) and KRC1 teach panel with keylock (Aut T2 T1 Ext). Is there a possibility to somehow modified panel to no keylock?

Probably, yes. With the caveat that meddling with this wiring can potentially make the robot EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS if done improperly, so proceed with caution and test thoroughly.
For the GM KRC, the wires which would normally run to the socket for the KCP were re-routed up to the panel keyswitch. You will need a good wiring diagram of the inside of the controller (every controller comes with one, assuming someone didn't lose it), in order to determine which wires to remove from the panel keyswitch and which pins on the KCP socket to re-route them to.
The correct pins on the KCP socket may have been left un-pinned. In this case, you will need to obtain the correct pins and crimping tool (standard Harting connector items) and add these pins to the KCP socket in the bottom bulkhead of the KRC.
Doing this incorrectly could blow fuses, or even damage circuit boards inside the KRC or the KCP. Or, the wiring could cause the KCP key switch to operate incorrectly. So exercise due caution.
The good news is, the T1/T2/AUT/EXT display on the KCP will allow you to determine if you have wired the circuit correctly (assuming that no fuses have been blow or circuits damaged). If it shows a "?" instead of T1, T2, AUT, or EXT, your wiring is incorrect. It is possible to have one mode wired correctly and another incorrectly, or to have modes cross-wired.
