is the function enabled?

a controller cabinet can have up to 3 external axis connected. if more needed than additional cabinet is required.

you have either PL=0 or you have many points very close making circular moves.

you need to set the tool correctly with weight, center of gravity etc.

you need to be in management mode (3 keys) in order to build or see any system job assuming that the function is enabled

System ladder change needs Yaskawa mode

2 options

1) Sensor board with ACORON function. send analog value to the sensor board coming from the measuring height and robot can compensate accordingly

2) system job that calculate a frame constantly according to the values. your job must be relative according to that frame.

If you use Pvariables you can use the CNVRT command to change the tool inside the Pvariables.

we use this trick in the cobot series to use the correct tool with weight for not generating collisions.

all possible methods have been already said in this email. i think you should purchase the Endless axis T function and ease your work

you can call a Yaskwa representative to unlock it and define new passwords

do you have an inverter to control your spindle? the robot or the PLC will communicate with the drive of the spindle. depending to the drive you will select the connections.

the signal connector of the spindle is for having the inputs if you hold a tool etc

there are also restrictions for symbols

import the step file in powermile and then save it. Powermill saves as mtd

is the robot set to work to ground or in wall/ceiling? check under robot menu

Does anyone has a tutorialor manual for the cam function with external axis? the manual from the software is poor and i cannopt find a good way to make a positioner turn continuously and sync with robot movement.

systeme ladder needs yaskawa mode if i remember correct

does you software create points in pulses or cartesian?

i think i found the issue. you are using P variables that are not declared in the header. also P1 is wrong, you must write P001.

did you used a software to make yor code?

is your positive current to the torch passes through the robot or outside like the wire? you may intefere differences through current noises close to the encoder cables

checkpoint is the name of the software from lincoln. it is free and it is what you want
