Thanks guys! That was really helpful!
Will see what the situation is tomorrow and write back

Hi again!

As i never used krcdiag before, feel a bit lost... on the end i think i found how to see the errors but they are not telling me anything usable.

I exported them so if someone can tell me what these registered errors mean...

here is a part of the messages:

No, when tested there was no PLC connected.

The safety is X11, not through the PLC, we have only move nable signal through the plc signals and all the ext signals - for automatic external mode.

I will check also the cabling, thanks!

Thanks guys! I was really out of options with this " locked " messages... i will dig in the plc logic - we use it for all the ext signals, may be there is a glitch in the logic? Will check the logs and lets see where this will go...

Thanks again! Unvaluable help!

Hello, i have a problem with a KRC4 robot:
KRC4 KSS 8.2
KR180 R2500 Extra
The robot is doing palletizing and was ok before the installation - we tested it for a week.
The robot is working in automatic external as a device with a PLC controller Siemens S7 1200 as master.
All the signals for the gripper and the conveyor system + sensors are managed by the PLC.
We have this error: " Stop due to locked drive A4 "
where the locked axis can be anything from A1 to A6 - it is different all the time. The message cannot de acknowledged in EXT mode
The issue is appearing at random position, there are no singularities over the whole range of movement of the robot.
Any idea what can cause this? I am struggling to find any info about it

This is pretty odd, since this document itself isn't appearing in Xpert as well.

But a quick look in this document gave me the impression that this new BendTech 6.0 is something specific from KUKA Automatisering + Robots N.V. branch (Belgium), not a package sold by KUKA main branch.

Do you know if they are selling the app?>

Should be FINE (no smoothing) in the target point

Hello Vlad, where you are selecting FINE? I am struggling with the same issue

Quote from massula

Gave a quick look at Xpert few moments ago and didn't find any BendTech manual for KRC4 or above. The latest version I saw was 3.0, for KRC2 ed05.

Yes, i also found this impossible to find. I found a manual for Kuka BendTechBasic V6 for KSS 8.6 - that means it exist? Very strange!

Hi Guys!

Some of you maybe have a manual about this technology (BendTech) for KUKA Robots KSS 8.2 or higher? Please send in my email if its possible!

Thanks Guys!

Hello, is the product still available for krc4 or krc5?

Hello javaman how did you solve this? I have the same task now, but with a new robot

Quote from SMK Negeri 2 Makassar

Hallo, thanks for your answer,

what about if just using single tools? is that android app can do that?

or just input one tools value for two tools in android app?

have a gread day.

No, you need two lengths to do that

Hello, a bit late answer from me, but i hope it will be helpful in your future andventures with this robot and Sprutcam.

To have correct position and values of the virtual model in Sprutcam and the real robot you need to measure and match the tool TCP and orientation. Sprutcam have very useful tool - android app - where you can enter the data of two measured tool - long and short one. Then the app calculates the value of the A B and C and also inserts them in the robot scheme in the Machine maker.

In your case first of all - do your part of the work and make (or ask somebody to do) as precise possible the laser head - that will give you much better experience when you program the robot and also will help you to prevent any eventual damages to the laser head - Sprutcam is really good in collision avoidance.

I hope that helps, if you need more info - ask here, or you can also ask your Sprutcam reseller to help - the initial setup needs some experience

When you call a program for some reason it changes also the tool and base used in the main program, so you need to set them again after the call for the external module

Sprutcam also worth checking - it is really powerful on a good price and good support
You can download a 30 day trial fully functional copy and test it yourself on the robot directly

No, i am sorry - never used this software.
It is strange you cannot see the upload button - may be try with another browser?

here

ok, just to update the thread as i solved the problem - it seems there was some old piece of software that was messing up the signals or the interrupts.
Anyway, i used a clean image of the KSS, reinstalled Usertech and Arctech and it is working fine now

Any advise where should i look to check if the Arctech status buttons are connected to the right variable?

Hello again from me

i had a tough day - i tried to reinstall the Arctech package and it totally killed the KSS
Not sure what was wrong, but after i recovered the robot from an previous HDD image - i reinstalled correctly and now i am able to see the power source and to send signals.

The only problem i have now is the HOT/COLD welding button - it wont allow me to switch to HOT weld.
When i press it the message is: ATbg_HotRequest still TRUE
Also the buttons for Wire forward and backward are not working - I am talking about the status buttons
I can control wire forward and backwards through the outputs, but it seems the status keys are not defined properly.
Any idea where to look to define them>?
Thanks!

Hello everyone!
System data:
KUKA KR5 ARC KRC4 robot
KSS 8.3.29

I am installing an ArcTech Basic 1.5 package on a KSS 8.3 system
I installed the KOP in the WoV, after that i tried to upload the project but i received message that the Option package needs to be installed on the controller.
So i installed it through the add new technology procedure on the controller and i can see the ArcTech buttons available also the technology package is visible in the installed options.
So i did the setup for the Fronius connection (Ethercat) and the ArcTech Basic setup - IO etc.
When i try to upload the project - it is going through until it start the installation of the project on the controller. After that it gives me error - The required option ArcTechBasic V1.5.7.2836 is missing on the controller! - i am attaching a photo of it.
I cannot attach the project as it is too big, but if needed i can upload somewhere an provide the download link
I tried also to copy the project on the robot and to activate it from there, but the result is the same - it says that the option package is missing on the controller.
Any idea what might be wrong?

Thank you in advance!
