Offset robot programs by 45 degress

    Im curious about something. I cannot test it in robo guide because it wont let me attempt it, but a real robot would tell us the answer. I wonder if you could just rotate the base (J1) the 45 degrees and then single axis master J1 as 0.000 deg, when its actually at 45deg. , then recalibrate. Seems this would shift the entire coordinate system by a 45 deg rotation.

    Thoughts from the panel???

    I thought shifting a program was only do-able if your program used all 'taught points' in the program and not Position registers for your moves.

    Good Luck, Please report back how you solve your issue.

    I can confirm that program-shift don't change positionregisters, and we didn't want to recalculate all of them.
    So we simply moved the robot and re-teached the userframe with the original points.
    Worked fine.

    But the single axis mastering is a very nice idea too, and should work (as long as there is not any shift ofcourse)

    If your program is teached the correct way. All your point should be teached from a UserFrame. Just rotate the UserFrame 45° and all your points teached from that user frame will follow. This is the reason you should use UserFrames.

    I too agree with RoboWi , I will record stuff in a userframe, even if it is identical to the world frame coordinates. User frames are VERY simple yet powerful ways of programming and the ability to offset, rotate, slant, tilt.. .all at the same time.. This idea doesn't seem to be pushed and I think many programmers are missing out on an opportunity to do their best work.

    if you remaster J1 off by 45 degrees you need to restrict the soft limits. the original limits are put into place to protect the cable harness fed through the j1 reducer.
