Same trajectory, different tool - INTP-253 Tool frame mismatch

  • Hello, I have recently started to deal with TP Programming and Fanuc robots and I have trouble changing tool but making it work on the same trajectory that I got another tool working on.

    I saw in another thread that I should add UTOOL_NUM = X; in the beginning of my program, where X is the tool frame of the new tool, but that did not work (altho I can see it changing the tool after this line to the correct tool), its still giving me the same errors.

    I have created the program with Tool Frame 1, the new tool is under Tool Frame 4, I have taught the new tool using the three point method and I can see the green sphere at the tip of the tool (I am doing this in Roboguide)

    The errors that I get are INTP-251 Invalid tool number and INTP-253 Tool frame number mismatch

  • All the local [P] points you have taught use tool 1, therefore they need tool 1 to run. You have three options:


    -Use Position Register [PR] global, if multiple tools share common position like home or pounce

    -Tool shift utility function, this will convert taught [P] positions to tool 4. You have the option of keeping the tool in the same orientation (likely what you want if you have updated your TCP) or keeping the robot arm in the same orientation (if you were teaching to a bad TCP)

    -Update the frame data for tool 1

    So, If I understand correctly, it would have worked if I used PR instead of specific to the program P points?

    Also, where do I find this Tool shift utility?

    Thanks!
