We are trying to create a relative job for our Arcworld 6200 weld cell with 2 robots in it. Does anyone know if we put the cell into relative if it would still work if the fixture were to slip an axis or lose pulse counts. This is something new we're trying and we're not 100% sure on it yet. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

Short answer, no.
Long answer, relative job is not turned on for a cell. It is an option that can make your jobs relative to a plane in space. This plane can be like the Base of the robot or your tool or a custom frame you make called a user frame. All these frames are static. They do not move with an axis unless you redefine them. For example, if you have a fixture on your external axis and teach a user frame and make your jobs relative to that user frame and then move the fixture, all you have to do is re-define the user frame and the jobs will move with it. If you turn the external axis or "slip and axis" on the robot you can re-define the user frame and the jobs will follow, but now your robot is out of calibration and other things will go wrong.
