Hey, First time using a Fanuc robot,
I am needing to take some learn to utilize offsets. I am just learning to program and from the usermauals have figured out how to start a program, utalize points etc. Now that i have that down i need to repeat my movement from the first point I need to move x amount downward (-Z) then retract (+Z) to the starting point and move over (-x) amount above the next part then repeat that same downward move, repeat the upward move and over move then after ~ 18 rows move down a row and do everything over again but to the oppisite direction on a different row.
I got stuck when I tried to set a PR, it was like the pr was already set. I guess first how do I write a new PR, the Previous operator left a bunch of PRs and I suspect the one I tried calling was set.
From what I have seen to set a PR you issue the command then give it a number PR(1) and record that point?
That points coordinates can be used in one axis or 2 or 3 and that is designated with PR(1;3 is 3 axis?)
Say if I wanted to go to a point
p(1)fine
Pr(1;3) (Down in z)
PR(2;3) - Up in Z
PR(3;2) Over in X
PR(1;3) Down in Z
Yadayadayada.
Am i on the right track?
I can upload the program in a bit if anyone wants to take a look, but it is very basic in theory. I am just learning so thank you for the help!
