Hey all,
I’m a controls engineer at a metal stamping plant and I'm currently working with a Comau C5G controller that uses the SmartIP Interpress application. I have been requested to requested to have one robot pick up a part from one press, drop it in another press, wait for that press to finish, unload that press, and then put the finished part on the conveyor. I have two ideas in mind:
** Idea 1 - modify the pick and drop sequence, but I don't know where this file is located. I have a backup from one of our robots and I believe I might have found it but it is password password protected and I only have the free version of WinC5G with no option to purchase a license, so I can't check for sure. Does anyone know where the logic for the normal run sequence is stored in the controller? Is that even an option to be edited
** Idea 2 - I could try to have it execute two different programs, flipping between them via PLC without changing its end of arm tool when it waits for the press to stroke and then again when it is waiting to pick from the previous press. My concern with this is memory management issues (we seem to have to cold start the controllers after every changeover)
Any and all help is extremely appreciated!
