I'm looking to buy my first Robot (lightly used KRC4 controller with KR 6 R700 robot) and have read many of the threads and have started to read the systems integrator manual. I have several questions that I was hoping to get some advice or answers on.
1) what happens if we don't have the password to log in to the KRC4 upon booting up? Are we forced to reinstall the whole Windows OS, KSS, and other programs?
2) how does the manual dial mastering gauge actually work (seems that an indicator fits into an access hole using and finds the low spot on the corresponding rotating part? Is there a drawing of this tool or a part number?
3) should this come with a KSS 8.3 DVD or is that preinstalled on the KRC4? If the seller doesn't have the original can I get a replacement from KUKA? Do I have to pay? Is there an activation serial number (like many Microsoft products have). What about the other stuff that may be already installed on the controller (like Kuka.PLC Multiprog or kuka.WorkVisual). If the system was originally sold with some of this software, can I get a replacement DVD ?
4) if it does not come with a SmartPad, can I still turn on the controller and see the boot up by hooking up a monitor to the DVI and a keyborad and mouse?
5) what do I need to watchout for when looking at a used robot like this?
All help is appreciated
