Motion simulation is needed on Powermill. PowerSharp is just where you create CAD models and get the position coordinates of the parts. You get the coordinates of the axes (rotary and linear axes) in PowerSharp and import them into the MDT File. You should open an existing MDT File on Powermill that is similar to your Robot's structure and edit it accordingly. Just change the position coordinates that your Robot has. (X,Y,Z, I,J,K)

You can open the *.mtd file on Notepad or another office software, but you cannot open it on Powersharp.

can i open it in powermill and simulation the movement?
You can move on Powermill, but to run the simulation you need to create Toolpaths.
- But first you need to edit the File name ( *.mdt) to be the same as the folder name containing the files ( *.dmt).
- Then open all these Files in PowerModelling (open all these Files at the same time) to see what machine it is?
- Then put it in Powermill and try to move it to see if it has errors or not? If it has errors, you need to edit in the File ( *mdt).
(Errors usually focus on incorrect coordinates of the details, linear and rotational constraints, as well as Parent-child constraints.) -
Rename the folder and the *.mdt File the same and open it in Powermill.
And you need to declare the exact location of the machine parts (the *.dmt Files in the folder) into the *.mdt File. This location needs to be opened in Powermill Modeling software to know. -
Have you processed it yet?
- Files with the extension " * .Mtd " are the machine information files (it can be a CNC machine or a Robot) that you put into the Powermill section.
- The machine components will be in the folder that has the extension " * .dmt ". (Note: the name of the *.Mtd file must be the same as the folder containing the .dmt files.
- You can use the PowerSharp (Powermill Modeling) section to open the - * .dmt files). They are just CAD files.
- Files *.mdt can be edited in Notepad.
- Files * .pripost are the Robot Postprocessor files on the Powermill software.
- Files * .Robconfig are the Robot configuration files in the Powermill Robot Plugin. -
Hello
In connection with a lot of questions about powermill and running krc2 programs ,I made a movie as I run the program on the robot.I post the postprocessor from which I do and patter of the main program , It often happens with depends on the powermill settings or the program version the main program is generated differently with the same postpeocesorm.
Hi. Although this is an old topic, I really want to see the video you uploaded. Can you send me the link again? This link is old and inaccessible. Thank you.

Hello everyone, Does anyone have experience exporting NC Program and post-processing on Powermill, and how to set G54-G59 blanks for Robot when running the program. Can you share with me? Thank you very much.

Just for curiosity, what exactly do you want to grind?
I just mill wood and foam.

that looks ok but everything shown is only standard signals (control signals). you also need to consider safety aspect and make sure that spindle can only run if operator is safe. planning ahead goes long way to avoid issues. for example getting VFD with STO, means one can omit external safety contactors. one way to confirm that spindle is not running is to use safety relay to monitor for zero speed.
Yes thank you, I will pay serious attention to safety measures, about Safe Torque Off I will consider whether the inverter has this function. There will be more work to do, I hope to be helped in the next topics. Thank you very much.

It appears to be correct. The details will require careful attention though, like the voltage levels of the I/O.
Yes thank you, I will look into this.
-
And here's what I understand, can you check if it's correct?
thank you verry much.
-
yes. currently it has 3 Digital and Analog modules and Devicenet network integrated in Robot.
-
oh. i understand what you mean. my CNC machine uses an inverter to control the spindle, it connects to the CNC controller via Analog signal (it can also be controlled via Ethernet) to control on/off and speed change via the CNC controller. i want to ask if Robot can do that? i want to use an inverter to control the spindle with a capacity of 9Kw (HQD). can it be controlled via Analog signal via the available modules on the Robot Controller.
-
that will depend on your spindle controller requirements
Hi. Can you explain this issue more clearly? I don't understand what you mean by the spindle controller requirement? I just need the Robot to receive Gcode commands exported from Powermill software and execute it like a normal multi-axis CNC machine, not much else. The spindle needs to run and change speed automatically like a CNC milling machine.

Hello everyone, I am new to Robots so I hope everyone can guide me to set up a CNC milling Robot.
I bought a Robot (V)KRC2ed05 with KUKA KR210 Robot from a friend. It already has an external 7th turntable integrated, and the seller informed me that it has 2 more Digital I/O Modules and 1 Analog Output Module in the controller. I know it needs to install a Spindle Milling Head for it, so I ordered an additional milling head for it. Please help me know what devices are needed and what other configurations are needed to complete a CNC Milling Machine to operate it. I am using Powermill software to program machining for my CNC machine, it can program simulated machining for multi-axis CNC machines and Robots. And has anyone used Powermill software to be able to export machining files on KUKA Robot? Thank you very much
