pdl, that works. Thanks

How do I change those? It won't let me change them on the SYSTEM Axis Limits page.

-360 to 360 degrees are the max limits
-
Example from my robot program:
PR[35,1]=0
PR[35,2]=0
PR[35,3]=0
PR[35,4]=0
PR[35,5]=0
PR[35,6]=359.5
J PR[101] 6.0sec CNT50 Tool_Offset,PR[35]

Axis 6 lower limit is -360 degrees and upper limit is 360 degrees.

Hello. I have a LR Mate 200iD robot with a 30iB mate plus controller. I'm attempting to rotate the J6 axis clock-wise 360-365 degrees using Tool_Offset,PR[]. So far the closest I can get to this is if my PR[] is set to 359.5 degrees. If I set it to 360 degrees, the robot will stay at the 0 degree position. If I set it to 361degress, then the robot will only rotate 1 degree clock-wise. Can someone help me figure out how to rotate J6 360 degrees or more? Thank you.

Thanks for the idea. That should save me 1 second or more of cycle time per part.

Hello all,
I'm fairly new to Fanuc robot programing. I have stumbled my way through it and have a finished program, but now I'm trying to reduce machine cycle time. I'm using a Mitsubishi PLC and communicating to the Fanuc robot over ethernet I/P. There are 5 programs the PLC tells the robot to run, but really it is 10 because there are 2 sides to the work cell. I know that the robot starts each program on the falling edge of the UI18 or UI6 signals. While programming the PLC , I found that a pulse from the PLC wasn't long enough. I assumed the PLC scan time was too fast for the robot controller, so I added a delay timer to hold on the UI18/UI6 signal on for awhile. The problem with this is it adds cycle time every time I change jobs with the plc(total time = delay time x 10). Any ideas on how to get rid of this delay timer to save cycle time?
Thanks in advance.
