Hi everybody!
One customer ask me if it is possible to share and external axis (rotary bench) between two robots. I'm not talking of working both robots simultaneously on the bench, but one at a time.
The movement of the bench must be interpolated, so I'm not sure if it is possible to do it. I was thinking that in the worst case, we can have 2 kuka projects on each robot, one with and one without the external axis, but what about the wires? something like a physical switch for the power and encoder wires to choose where the cables end...
I'm very confused. I'm not shure if there's an extra data bus that we may use to allow one robot to use the external axis of the other...
Any comment will be appreciated.
Thanks!
