Hi,
I need to dimension a spindle fitted on my robot's flange.
It's fitted conventionally such that the spindle faces down when the flange faces straight out.
I have set the tool offsets Y and Z, and when I jog in tool mode it seems to work ok.
However when I run a program, Jappro, Jdepart etc all work in reverse.
Something to do with the OAT settings?
Any help here would be gatefully received...

Hi,
I'm a beginner really but I've been practicing palletising and rotating the place positions for different layers.
The code I've made uses the shift function to extrapolate all the place positions from just one start point called placey. The X oriented positions are set up by making a new position called placex which has a rotation of 90 using the RX command, then adding in placey to give an identical position except rotated through 90 degrees.Video of my old RS02 on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bWW9BLhSMQ is this similar to your task?
I've done similar with two 'pallets' and using frames, but no video.
I've a feeling your problem is more complex... -
Thanks for your help Alexandru.
That's got me sorted!
I'd made a novice type mistake.
I knew the time/date was returned as a string but had failed to put a $ in front of it... -
Problem is that whilst the TIME and DATE functions work after the command prompt, they don't work when typed into an AS program.
The compiler just thinks they are variables.... -
Hi Alexandru, What I want to do is somehow get the real time and date from the TIME function so that I can use it in an AS program.
Perhaps to make the robot perform certain functions at certain times. I don't think the TIMER function will be suitable... -
Hi.
I'm pretty much a novice at AS programming but want to make use of the date and time in some of my AS programs.
The 'TIME' function doesn't seem to work when called from a program though.
Has anyone managed this? Or got any ideas how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
