Hello all,
I am trying to modify my robot's DH parameters in order to optimize the robot's accuracy within a specific volume. The Robot is an LR Mate 200iD running on an R30iB controller.
I have located system variables that modify the DH length parameters: $PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_D and $PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_A. I can change these values, cold start the controller, and then the robot's joint-position relationship is changed as expected. I have having difficulty changing the angle parameters, alpha and theta. There are system variables that look correct: $PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_THETA0, and $PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_ALPHA
To further complicate matters, there are several other system variables that look like they refer to DH parameters. For example:
$PARAM_GROUP[1].$SV_DH_D
$PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_VD
$PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_HD
$PARAM_GROUP[1].$DH_OD
These are just the D-parameters. There are equivalents for a, alpha, and theta.
Does anyone know what these other variables control, if anything? Also, does anyone know how to modify the theta and alpha parameters? I could modify theta via mastering if I had to, but I am confused about how to modify alpha.
Thanks for your help!
