Linear unit - move only E1

    Hi.


    KRC4 8.3


    I have a question, how to set the E1 axis motion (linear unit along X axis) only in KRL. Without holding the tool TCP.

    Movements E1 (LIN, PTP) in the KRL keep the TCP (cartesian) in place.


    I need movement like in T1 and AXIS only and E1 is moved without holding the TCP.

    Now if i need move robot with tool I make something like this:


    LIN {X 1000, E1 1000}


    And I would like an E1 1000 and X tools to move together only with:


    MOVE {E1 1000}


    Regards.

    By default without stating something else {E1 1000} is interpreted as cartesian position. In cartesian moves coupling is on. If you command a axis position type only the external axis should move. So the trick is how to tell the system you want {E1 1000} interpreted as axis position. Various methods to achive this


    1) Declare a axis type variable and use it e.g.


    E6AXIS myAXIS

    myAXIS.E1 = 1000

    LIN myAXIS


    2) Use directly an axis type variable

    LIN {E6AXIS: E1 1000}
