Moving program from one workcell to another?

    Is it possible to move a program from one workcell to another? We have multiple robots and sometimes we just need flexibility to move a program without shutting the cell down and completely program from scratch a program that is already made on another cell. Can this be done or feasible on Roboguide?

    All we have are fanucs, different controllers. We have over 15 cells. I can change/adjust the user frames in LS file so they can be on the same userframe. I brought in a program from another cell into this one. and you can see the points are far off from where they need to be. What can be done to get them closer. Adjust UFrame, tool frame/uframe offset?

    The user and tool frames must be set up exactly the same relative to the work piece. That does not mean they need to be the exact same values, and likely will not be. You need to manually setup\touch up those frames to make them right.


    Different models of arm may have different reach capabilities you would need to watch out for.


    Different controllers or software versions\options may have some instructions that are not compatible with each other. Usually if set the programs up to work with the oldest, most basic version you have then it will be compatible with the newer versions.

    This is how to got to this point.

    1.Copied program from cell 1 onto flash drive

    2.Opened program LS file in text editor, added UFrame number to use for Group 1 postions

    3.Loaded program with UFame updated into cell 2
