Hi,
Anyone know how to save energy with robot movements or in any other way possible?
thanks

accelerate slower, beyond that there is not much you can do programming wise.
use robot and tool of appropriate size
do proper and regular maintenance, when did you last check counterbalance, belt tension etc?
remove unnecessary loads from robot arm/tooling/energy supply
set and use correct load info
check use of space and robot reach, constrained robot may have to do way too much of contorting to avoid obstacles, this is time and energy inefficient.
use approximated motion where possible (warning, doing so without understanding advance run can lead to collisions)
teach points better to avoid tension for example when picking placing part in a vice or chuck
remove dust from fans and heat sinks. electronics is more efficient when properly cooled.
record and compare results. doing it "by feel" is subjective and may be misleading.
turn off brake test if no necessary (if not using SafeOp)
check brake config - always released or applied when robot is idle
decouple IO nodes when not used
tune any custom axis
use feedback sensors instead of delays for tooling etc. without sensors you are forced to use delay (and the worst case values) which means slower cycle time and - need to compensate with more aggressive motions (consumes more energy).
