Path Frame

    Hello,

    I noticed that there is a 'PATH' option when cycling through coordinate systems on the teach pendant. I have not seen any mention of an accessible path frame in any Fanuc manuals. Does the 'PATH' coordinate system pertain to the path frame for a given weld?

    It just so happens I am looking for a way of obtaining a path frame in Karel. Is there any way I can use this 'PATH' to get the path frame at a certain position during a weld?

    Thank you!

    Approved the thread.

    PATH frame is a function of ArcTool, and only ArcTool. So, you likely looking in the wrong manual.

    PATH is mentioned in section 4.3.7 of MAROBAR8304141E REV H (ArcTool Setup & Ops.)

    You might be able to pull PATH frame from system variables. However, from my understanding, PATH frame is only created at the instance the program is paused.

    Maybe LPOS motion instruction would work better, as a suggestion. Not sure what you intend to do.
