User Frames

  • I am new to Fanuc Robot Programming, I have been working in Robo Guide. I have been trying to understand user frames. I get the concept they are like a fixture offset. How ever in my programs I have written I change the UFrame values, and the call in the program but the path of the Robot does not change. I can see that the UFrame I select is active. I am trying to us this to shift the program around in the cell. In my program my first to lines of code are: UFRAME_NUM=2, AND UTOOL_NUM=1. The Program was created with no User Frame selected I.E. User Frame 0.

  • I think you found your problem. You have your path in UFRAME 0. It needs to be in UFRAME 2. You can covert it using the UFRAME offset utility on the pendant, under menu -> 1 UTILITIES.
