Hi All,
I'm pretty new to robot controllers. We have a RJ3IB controller and a Lrmate 200id. I made some programs that all work fine, but I'm trying to figure out something that would seem very simple, but I get the "invalid uframe" errors.
Application:
I have two identical programs. All I want to do is move the frame 1" for the respective part we are processing. I'm using roboguide for off line programming. I defined user frame locations 1 and 2.
I copied the Original program (user frame 1) to a new program and put "Uframe _num=2" at the first line, but get the error when I try and run it.
Another question.
I'm very familiar with running machining centers where I can set a work a work offset (G54..etc). All subsequent motion is relative to the G54 offset location as 0,0,0.
Is there a similar function in robotics ?. The reason I ask...
We have robots from very old to new. I would like to have a method to align them across programs. If I could specify a common origin (Center of turn table) and set that as a work offset, theoretically I could share the programs among the robots of different kinematics (as long as it was within the "reach" of the respective robots). Does this make sense ?.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
