Touch skip requirements Fanuc

    Hey,

    I have several robots that utilize the touch skip functionality, these were installed before my time at this company. Now they want me to add another robot with touch skip or if possible upgrade one of our older ones to have touch skip.

    I tried registering with Fanuc CRC but they are not getting back to me for over a week?

    Do you guys know what the minimum requirements for using touch skip is? Will any robot with r-30ib and up controller work? I guess all I have to do to add it is to call fanuc and install the software, correct?

    If anyone here can give me a hand I appreciate it. Thanks

    Rick

    I’ve been in a similar situation and did not have the software.. you can monitor the $variable directly and use high speed skip.

    See below example, apologise for the poor quality image. Basically J3 showed the most disturbance during the pick process, monitor this to the desired level of applied force and skip when reached. Touch skip function without the software..

    Hope this is useful!

    I got this technique from a Fanuc engineer when I visited their site and explained an issue I was having. He explained to me it uses the same variables.. what truth is in that I could not tell you.

    It’s nice being able to able to record the position and offset from there allowing your datum to float.

    It's a great tip, I wish I had thought of it haha. I'll give it a go. Thanks again
