I have reviewed some of the tools and methods available in the sticky section and I am looking for some input about quickly entering PR data for multiple tool offsets. Right now I have 21 position registers being used as tooling offset to run 21 different parts in an iRPickTool cell.
On the first cell that I built, I manually went in and set the PR data and comments. Now I have a second cell to build with different offsets and I really need a better way to automate this very time consuming task.
I started to write a TP program to set all the data but I am concerned about the potential of a point that may be represented in Joint when I want it in Cartesian. Also, I would want to write the comment for the PR too.
I haven't tried the excel tool from OneRobotics for the comments and I haven't tried using .CM files but from what I can tell, it looks like Karel would be best for this.
Unfortunately, I don't have Karel but I do have RoboGuide and iRPickPro if those could be used to help develop a better method. Also, does using Karel also require the Karel option to be installed on the cell?
Looking for some ideas on best practice for something like this.
Thanks!
