ROBOGUIDE - The robot doesn’t adjust its position when switching between UTOOLS

    Hi,
    Working in the ROBOGUIDE…


    Originally I created UTOOL[1] that is 150mm away from the face plate (Z = 150)
    Then we modified the EOAT to make it 50mm longer than original.
    So, I created a UTOOL[2] that is 200mm away from the face plate (Z = 200)


    When I switch between the tools (SHIFT + COORDS), I see the EOAT change accordingly, however the robot does not adjust its position to the longer tool and the longer tool is hitting the table.


    Shouldn’t the robot back out 50mm if I’m using the longer tool?


    Please see the pictures.


    Thanks,
    Tom

    You are changing the tool and seeing the EOAT react to that change. But the robot position is based on UTOOL[1] and the point you moved to. I think you need to modify UTOOL[1] for that point or modify the point to reference UTOOL[2].
