Hey guys, i have an HSD spindle with auto tool change option and i would like to use that with my robot - it is Kuka KR150 with KRC2 cabinet.
At the moment i can start and stop the spindle with the required RPMs but don't know how to point it to pick up and drop off a tool (ISO 30 tool holder) from the tool rack.
Any help appreciated!
If you do correctly the retract - approach values it should be flawless - i am doing that on daily basis with Sprutcam.
1. Make sure you do properly the retract position
2. Make sure you do correct approach position - to avoid any collision with the work piece or any other parts.
Are you checking the robot axis map? In terms to prevent singularities and collisions it is just vital to use the robot axis map!
If you can upload the project it will be easier to analyze and help... but what you describing is a piece of cake in Sprutcam when done properly:)

this is what i've found... i remember that they had a web page but can't find it now...
Hope that'll help you
I am working with v9 and don't have any problems with it.
I suppose your problem is from the new version of the machine configuration file in V9. There is another definition of the robot - another xml file in V9
Are you using the old version machine file?
Just make a new one amending one of the base robot configs provided with the software and it will be OK

To lock the robot into Cold Boot is a simple menu-driven option on the KRC4 -- just look in the Shutdown menu. The KRC2, I believe you have to make a Windows Registry edit. There's a cluster of .REG files in (IIRC) C:/KRC/UTIL/??? that you can double-click to make changes to the registry. One of these turns on Cold Boot permanently, and another turns that off.
Hi SkyeFire, can you please double check as i can't find such directory (UTIL) in C:/KRC/ - i need the opposite - to turn OFF the Cold Boot...
Thanks!
You can split it into files each with 18-20 000 lines each and to call them from a external src? in that case will be possible to load a folder with about 25-35 files in it.
a bit expensive, as on the market there you can find a second hand Kuka rotary 7th axis for around 4000 EUR. Bu t anyway, thank you for the offer.
I have the A1, A2, and A3 motor, also KSD 1-16...
how much would you charge for the motor cables and the KSD for A3 motor?
It is for a rotational table i am planning to do - not much of a load there...
so now i need to search either smaller motor or bigger ksd
Anyone want to swap?
Hey guys, i have a question here
can i use KSD 1-16 with Kuka motor used for A3?
I have the motors A1, A2 and A3 and KSD 1-16 - can i use this KSD with one of these motors?
Thanks!
the Kinect sensor is a bit low res (320X240px) but it might help you to get the rough dimensions.
It will be better to use a proper 3d scanner i think
Can't you do this using CAD data of the sink and offline programming software? How did you cut in first place?
well, about 2-4mm depends of the tool
Hi guys,
i have a question if someone have experienced something similar.
I am using a HSD929 spindle with auto tool changer and ISO30 tool holders.
I have a set of pre-calibrated tools with different lengths and diameters.
So i am milling a part with a rough pass, after that i am changing the tool with another one - calibrated in advance - and when i change back the first one it seems that it needs calibration again.
Is that normal?
Should i calibrate the tool after every tool change?
Any advise appreciated!
yes, it is looks right... that means the the problem is mechanical
do you did the test with the cube?
do you mind to share your tool settings for XYZABC? and also in the Sprutcam - the tool settings there?
When milling, sometimes is needed a lot of files to be loaded. I had a project with about 1100 files divided in folders as i can't upload more than about 30 files at once (300kb roughly each)
so that means loading by hand every folder after the previous one is done - not impossible but a bit boring
The best solution i saw around is something like directory loader in real time - to allow the robot to read from a network drive - i read that somebody did similar solution with EthernetXML - that's why pointed that solution - i am not using this myself, so apologies if i am wrong.
