SCOMARC is used when you are using coordinated motion (R1+S1:S1). Don't use it if you aren't doing a coordinated motion job

The rule of thumb with COMARC is:

- set up good set of weld parameters and weld job with the electrode at the leading edge of the puddle

- set up your weave amplitude and frequency using a Single weave (frequency is paramount)

- when ready, turn on COMARC MEASUREMENT MODE

- set S1E 197=1 to find out the appropriate parameter and time lag, and set the parameter

- set S1E 197=0 to find out the appropriate U/D and L/R and put those values in your job

- turn COMARC MEASUREMENT MODE to OFF

- test a weld

If it doesn't work, test it out from scratch again. If you screw something up in COMARC, sometimes it's just better to start over....

Correct. Only DX200 or later.

To see the macro jobs, you need to be in Management mode. Then you can go to JOB - SELECT MACRO JOB to see the macros.

Where are you located?

Yes, Contact your Yaskawa representative for a service call to expand the number of variables. Unfortunately with NX100, this is the only way to do it. Requires the high level code.

Use VMAX on MOVL for YRC1000. I don't think the option exists for DX200 however

Make sure you select a range of steps first on the INSTRUCTION side by using SHIFT-SELECT. Then COPY will show up under EDIT.

It sounds like you are trying to take the soft limit past the pulse mechanical limit. You won't be able to do that. Even if you set the proper soft limit parameters to 999999 and -999999, the pulse mechanical limit will still take precedence.

when you are dealing with D variables in XYZ, the values are in microns, not mm

Check cabling. You may have a cable getting wrapped around an axis. This has caused Collision Detect alarms before.

You may need to increase the detection level on the L axis.

I am assuming you mean the OP2 password. Have you tried 00000000 and then ENTER? if that doesn't work, you will need to contact your local Yaskawa representative.

Send me a pm and I'll send you what I have. thanks

No, SHIFT+AREA will not work on MRC. MRC is old.... and I'm not sure if the robot in questions was equipped with multilingual software.... let me get back to you.

There are files you can back up under EXTERNAL MEMORY - SAVE - I/O DATA - IO NAMES. This will save as a .DAT file. You can then load it into each robot where the I/O is the same.

You can also purchase PalletSolver, a Yaskawa product, that allows you to do the setup directly off the pendant. You specify box size, layer size, slip sheets and it generates the programming code for you. Speak to your regional Yaskawa contact about purchasing this product for your newer Yaskawa Motoman robots.

The next time a Yaskawa rep is at your facility, ask them to turn the option off so that you won't get any more messages similar to this.

It's asking you to grease the robot. The problem is that once the greasing is done, you have no way to turn off the message. It must be done by a Yaskawa representative.

You can contact your local Yaskawa office to turn off this function. it is turned on by Japan by default but it can be turned off if you wish.

yes we have a number of customers using it here in Canada. Please send me a PM for more details.
