How to Program - Machine Tending Demo

    Hello all.

    I am new to the robotics field and have been self teaching myself how to program a Fanuc CRX 10ia/L. I'm currently working for a CNC Machine integrator that just got into robotics and we have an open house in a few weeks, and I am tasked with programming a machine loading/unloading demo.

    Here is the details

    CRX 10ia/L, with a dual gripper, mounted to a 3 drawer Vention table. Robot will be pulling drawers out manually, there will be 4 parts on each shelf. The robot will be connected to the machine via Fanuc Robot OnSite. The machine will send a call for service, then grab a part, and load it into the main spindle and unload the "finished" part from the sub spindle side. It will then exit the machine, and put it back on the table where it just picked a part from.

    It needs to be a loop of this for a few hours, and i'm wondering how I can structure this program the most efficiently, basically if I should record all the positions of the parts and just set it up like that, or is there a way I can make 3 palletizing registers and do it that way?

    Sorry if my explanation is lacking - if anyone has questions just ask I will try my best to answer.

    Approved the thread.

    You can do it however you want.

    It's a demo with just four pieces on your pallet. In this case I would just teach the four positions in following PR and then count an index into this PR. Wouldn't hazzle around with a palletizing logic, except you want to learn how to program palletizing logic, and use it for further projects.
