We are having an issue with one of our Fanuc M-410iC material handling systems that de-stack blanks from a pallet onto a conveyor. The system operates with a Master and a Slave robot.
We were struggling to resolve the issue which is the robot will pick a part off the pallet, place one on the conveyor, pick a second blank but not place it on the conveyor, it just hangs. Later we found that the encoder belt was broken, and that's why Robot wasn't placing the part on the conveyor. There was no alarm on the Fanuc Teach pendant. my question is how do we create an alarm on the Fanuc pendant, so that next time if any fault in the encoder, we can see it. The encoder is protected by a cover, so it would be great if we open it, when we are sure of the alarm.
Thank you.
