I am new to the Kuka robot in general but need to program a new part. i use the Tulip Kuka Eaton leornard for Bending programs, first off any and all useful manual tips are appreciated. i try to set up the new program with ptp motions. 1.) Can I speed up T1? 2.) CAn I select a point to have the robot move to so i can walk forward and backwards as i set new points. 3.) Any HMI modicfications that can make structuring the program easier? I program Universal Robots with the pendant and this Kuka HMI seems very slow and full of glitches....Please and Ty
New to KRC4

1. T1 no this set at 10% for safety reasons
T2 yes, but it depends on your configuration. in most cases when safety gates are closed full speed is allowed
2. yes
3. In this point i can only suggest some sort of training, a kuka is so different from universal robots which are designed to be user friendly but at lot less powerful when it gets to programming. This is basically the difference between a cobot and full industrial robot.
I have to admit i only have handled a KRC4 twice so i am not an expert when it comes to that. The older KRC2 do have a bit of a slower interface (runnig on windows 95 or XP) but this has never bothered me during programming. Perhaps if you post your "glitches" someone here can maybe help you along. -
Hi,
If you search this forum you could find a lot of useful infos. It is not allowed to post KUKA manuals and on this forum.
In T1 mode, the maximum velocity is 250 mm/s, irrespective of the value program overrride that is set.
Instead of using Smartpad you can prepare your program from Workvisual and download to the controller after.You may first take a look at https://www.robot-forum.com/robotforum/kuk…rum/read-first/. There you can read about finding documentations.
KSS Operating and Programming Instructions for System Integrators Manual can be found on internet. I also find some old manuals like Expert Programming KUKA System Software useful. -

Thank you all very much! I'm trying to map out a bending program but when I run it and PtP I created are what it tries to do first should I declare and control this with variables or is there a better "Movement" to select?
-
I am not sure your question was understood. What do you mean "PtP I created are what it tries to do first"?
Can you write a pseudocode of what this sub-program should do, or post the part of program you want to write?
The robot's job will determine the most suitable kind of movement to generate in the program -
1. T1 speed is reduced to meet legal requirements. You cannot change this. PTP motion is the fastest motion and therefore it is throttled more in T1 mode. However in some robots with SafeOperation, speed reduction may be too aggressive - specifically for PTP. In such case PTP moves at snails pace, but works normally if one block-selects PTP instruction and does BCO. In that case contact KUKA to get fix.
2. yes, this is what block-select is for.
3. be specific... i am using KUKA for many years and never had issue with ease of programming or structuring.
