I am very new to robots so if this is a dumb question i apologize.
I currently have a Motoman UP6 robot with a Yasnac XRC UP6 controller. It is used to cut holes into pieces of 4 inch cut to length channel.
My boss wants to change the channel to 40 ft pieces and have a conveyor that slides the stick to a proxy switch and then the robot will cut it to length.
Being as i am at a loss here, could anyone help me figure out how to add the proxy switch, set it up to run with the conveyor and have it activate the robot once the switch has been activated?
