I tried changing the software version from the original backdate file, and that didn't work.

You may be able to modify the backdate.dt file in your backup? Change the software version in there.That doesn't work. You can change other items, but the software version won't change.

You can either upgrade your Roboguide or manually create the robot simulation with V8.13 software!

BACKUP THE ROBOT FIRST DO AN IMAGE AND AN ALL FILES BACKUP
COntrolled start the robot.
From a controlled start, press menu, 9 (maintenance).
From here, since I don't know your config select independant axis or extended axis.
Press F4 (manual) and select the axis you want to change. Select 1 to modify press zero for the next screen and then change the motion sign.
After it is changed enter zero till you get to the end then 4 to exit. Cold start the robot. -
Yes same thing.
Are you familiar with an aux setup! -
For an aux axis go into the setup for the aux and change the motion sign. True to false or visa versa.
-
If you want a second group you will have to purchase the "option" from Fanuc and install it. All of it is done in a controlled start.
It's in the handling tool manual -
I prefer professor!
I want to humbly add, I needed a lot of help at first.
Nothing brings me more joy than when a comment from me solves a problem for someone else.
The struggle is real! -
So this aux axis will use channel 5 of the standard amp? Yes it could, if you want. I would. You would need special cables from Fanuc for that.
What is the setup process like during software install for adding the aux axis? Basic, you need to know the motor type and the servo amp type. You need to specify if it has a brake and if so where it is connected, the load on the servo which can be estimated. You need to specify the speed, the master position, and the axis limits. You need to specify if it is rotary or linear. It is all in the manual.
How is that axis mastered? What is zero? You define this. Typically the master position for a gripper is the lowest or closed position. Zero.
With palletizing is it common to have a servo gripper setup as a “7th axis” of group 1 or a separate motion group. I have seen both but I think a separate motion group is better. -
try to reload the Image
-
What do you mean restored it?

I would put the robot in the zero position before you take it apart. The LR Mate is small enough to remove and take to the maintenance shop. Makes it easier to work on. Take pictures and use lots of tie wraps!

I'm not sure if you can do this with a Point. You may have to use a Position Register.
use a PR to store the frame. Then change it to the frame you need.
I do this for my EOAT camera. I want get closer to small parts.
Using UTool 1 for the program
Make PR10=UTool that you want or you can use a separate PR for each UTool.
Then UTool 1 = PR10 or PR11 or PR whatever.As for the User Frames as long as the position inside of those frames are exact you can do the same thing.

@ Cobenson. I see this often. The Payload center is in cm not mm.
-
How much does the tooling weigh?

When I see this it is usually the fixtures that are the problem, not the robot.
If there is play in them, if operators can adjust them, then you need to address these issues.
The fact that all 3 are doing this says it is not the robots.
You can setup a way to verify the robots position. A dial indicator or 2, for example, can be set up. Create a program that runs the robot in the indicators and zero them. And when the robot position is off, run in into the indicators. If they are now off it is the robot. Only a couple times did I see that it was the robot. -
I have seen this done. The robots were mounted at different angles. Axis 2 and 3 were mastered 90 or 45 degrees out to correct Z.
The axis limits have to be adjusted too. -
Fanuc recommends an anual PM. It consists of changing the grease, greasing specific lube points, replacing all of the batteries and an all files and image backup.
Each robot's greasing requirements are different and is outlined in the manual. -
It is a modified square wave. It should read 90 volts DC. I am not sure about the current. The click will tell you if it's working or not.
