Fanuc Line Tracking

    Hello!

    I am working on an R30iB plus controller with a Fanuc M20 that is using line tracking. The tracking is initiated when a part passes a photo eye. I want to move on the part and track it until it reaches its destination. the issue i am having is stopping the robot from tracking too far on the conveyor. Does anyone have any suggestions?


    Right now the robot is at a starting position and as soon as the photo eye is made i start a tracking program. but i am unsure of how to make a start and end point and stay inside that limits.


    Thanks!

    Typically you just set your bounds so the robot won't outstreach during the path.


    If the point goes outside of the bounds, the robot will fault with a destination gone error.

    Check out the Fanuc position converter I wrote here! Now open source!

    Check out my example Fanuc Ethernet/IP Explicit Messaging program here!

    firstly yes, as the comment above, you can just set up the Boundary so robot will working only when get inside the boundary.


    second one, you can make a logic in the robot program, your robot will waiting until the part is in your range by using LINECOUNT
