Ok, so I know very little about Robots, I own a small company here just north of cincinnati in hamilton ohio that deals in surplus parts. We buy most of motomans obsolete parts/slow moving inventory. We then resell them on our website/ebay, anyways to make a long story short, I ended up with Robobar after several years of being told it wasnt for sale. If you dont know what robobar is, just do a search on youtube for robobar..
Robobar had been sitting in their warehouse for several years, probably about 5. I brought it back to my farm and have applied power, luckily its single phase. I cant get the program to run, i keep getting a home position error. I have tried to get all the axis to home however one of them is physically unable to get there. Im assuming the encoder must have a battery or source of power for the robot to always know where "home" is. The other home positons dont really look like they are truly "home" either.
Im assuming the program wont run if the home position isnt exact as the robot is programmed to move off that position to grab cups, pour beer and so on.
I am trying to get robobar fully functional ASAP as I would like to have it functional for my sons first birthday in 2 weeks.
anyone on this forum live close, want to make a few bucks and get robobar working for me??
