having the same error on a krc4 KSS26230 - Short circuit in charging thyristor (supply) (1) Originator: Drive 1

Hi All,

We are buying a Spare motor from China. its for KR210 R2700 prime, axis-1 motor.

Question is there a way to know if this is a brand new motor or refurbished? cause they don't come with any documentation.

thank you in advance.

Hi Gents, good day.

Robot is running fine and we are using it for testing the simulation for 2weeks now. then suddenly it stops and the same error of Enabling switch time-out. happens to our robot while running at automatic mode. after clearing the error its ok now but we still yet to know what is the reason for the error.

its a KRC4 KR30-3 with 2 axis DKP400.

thank you in advance.

Hello Everyone,

i was wondering if anyone here have work with the Air Skin pad for KUKA? since its weekend i was just trying my luck to get the cost and delivery time if anyone is here from Air Skin.

i have an inquiry with them but havent got a respond to them. just trying to get it fast.

https://www.airskin.io/ this is their website for reference.

thank you in advance

in our situation we are actually only looking at a simulation software that can generate a robot program where we can add IO inline or edit the postprocessor based on what we needed just like for welding on/off, bending, 3d printers or material handling with gripper on/off and wait sgnals. just for making things easier rather than doing it the old ways of manual programming.

Jeremy RoboDK do you have any local supplier here in United Arab Emirates?

ok so we have process simulate for a multiple and big projects. what about for start up company lets say that do 1 or 2 robots for a process.

Thank you so much Fubini.

Hi all,

Good day. I was looking Offline Programming Software. Had a few recommendations.

But i was wondering which is the best for the expert here who have used one. this are the software that was recommended to me.

RoboDK, SprutCam, Robotmaster, Octupuz.

I would like to know which is better for all the existing application and maybe for new RnD projects. and for all types of robots.

mainly at least for the known robotic arms now kuka, abb, fanuc yaskawa. those stuff.

thank you in advance.

try to monitor you apo during the program run. im guessing the this might change after running home sub prg and tool change sub prg. if thats the case then try to change the location of you apo after the tool change.

Had the same issue of buffer overflow when we were working on robotic Air Hockey .

We used rsi and a krc4 agilus.

we did 2 things to fix it.

1. we clear the buffer after receiving a data. (which i dont know how to do it on krc2)

2. from C# code we are limiting the sent data. its either the the first point or the last point detected from the camera.(robot is runs at full speed).

Notepad++ and OrangeEdit specially if you are doing online programming and you need to do some change like mirror or copying, adjustments of points or bases and adding inline forms. OrangeEdit is also shows how its going to look like in the smartpad. Really helpful for me. Wov is a must if you need configuration.

where are you located? try to check your area maybe there are some support you can get. it can be very hard at first but once you had someone to show you how this things works( I mean actual/training). actually things you are asking are on the manuals.

I think it is the same on Kuka 3 axis positioner. you can get those in your KP3 positioner.

robot:KR10 R900 Sixx

contorller:KRC4

If the operator push emergency stop button while robot is working, after reset the button ,in standard,we need to make robot back to home position safe and then wait next start cycle,

but how we can make robot jump out the program he is running and enter the cell program to wait PGNO ?

Try this.

IF $MODE_OP==#EX THEN

CWRITE($CMD,STAT,MODE,"RUN /R1/prg_MAIN()")

ENDIF

IF $IN[n]==FALSE THEN ;SAFETY GATE

CWRITE($CMD,STAT,MODE,"STOP")

ENDIF

IF $IN[n]==TRUE THEN ;PROGRAM RESET

CWRITE($CMD,STAT,MODE,"RESET")

ENDIF

just always have fail safe on all your programs.

hope this helps you

you can have both robots use same reference points for base.

point can be on the same plane on the carrier but need to be reachable by both robots.

if both cannot reach same points, try to keep first two same and make 3rd point separate - but on a same plane, perhaps like below.

i would have points stamped in to make them permanent.

so for robot on the left, points would be 1,2, 3

for robot on the right, points would be 1,2, 4

the further from each other points are the better accuracy

you can check if they are in plane using straight edge or laser.

Hi Panic mode,

this would be my other option to make the production faster.

is there a way that i can limit the robot KL limits on the src program? for safety.

i was thinking of making the same reference points for both robot then i will add that variable

to my postp when it writes the toolpath.

can i use the softlimit variable on src?or just workspace limits?

How is the table rotated? How is the reference frame for the robot created?

Hi Skyfire,

thank yo for the respond. we rotate the tables manually. and for the reference point we are trying to maximize the reach of the robot so when we rotate the table we still have the same points or origin for the next side.

thank you for the inputs i have to consider this things.

Hi everyone,

We have KRC2 KR210 L150-2K with 15meter Linear rail milling application. we used it for molds and parts machining.

so if we have big parts to be machine we rotate the table and the same reference origin.

Now we are planning to get the same robot to work side by side together on 1 part.to make the process faster.

i know that there will be a mismatch issue on this it can be a linear or tilt.

is there a way to fix that issue or anyone have work on like this before? or to make the robot mill on the same level.

i attached a photo for reference.

thank you.

i made Agilus "dance" at the tradeshow while waiting for Keurig to finish coffee. Finally show booth was flooded with the ladies.
they were just hypnotized somehow... many just wanted to buy the cell as is - all because robot was wiggling a bit...
and it did not even have much space to do anything fancy ... oh well...

But when you have girls at the booth, more guys come too...

nothing special, couple of blended moves run in a loop

Forgive my ignorance.

I've used PowerMILL but know nothing of Kuka CNC.

Is it anything like KRL or CamROB?

i think camrob is for krc2 and kuka.cnc for krc4.if im not mistaken.
we have these kind of system. good thing about using kuka.cnc youll get get a better result compare to krl.
coz gcode=interpolates. krl=approximates.
and with kuka.cnc youll get almost unlimited memory space for code since it uses drive c:.
you can used your powermill to generate gcodes. you need someone to create a postprocessor.
and to configure the kuka.cnc on your robot specially if you have external axis.

does running of a program from delcam robot power mill requires kuka cnc to be installed on a kuka robot.
.no. it doesnt requires kuka.cnc. you can write a full krl program.
What are the formats used for programming.
.without kuka.cnc it should be 2 files. .src and .dat
