We have a CNC grinding machine from ANCA that originally did not come with a robot loader. However, similar ANCA machines from the same generation are equipped with an LR Mate 200iC robot and an R30iA controller.
We are trying to retrofit this machine with an LR Mate 200iD paired with an R30iB controller. Fanuc has confirmed that this should be possible, but they mentioned that sending an expert to our site may take months.
Does anyone here have experience with this kind of upgrade? Specifically:
- What files/programs should be copied from the R30iA controller to the R30iB controller?
- What types of adjustments or "touch-ups" might be needed, particularly regarding waypoints or other configurations?
Any advice, guidance, or resources would be greatly appreciated!
