IN my experience the axis in question, where the drift occurs, has a motor that is going out. Typically that motor would have to be replaced and a full calibration would have to be done on the robot after the replacement. Be sure to have the robot in the "zero" position before you remove the motor.

Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone is well. So, I am welding the tip of a dow pin and making a very nice weld all the way around from ArcL/Start through my 2 ArcC's. When I get to the ArcL/off at the end of the weld I am having trouble with the Arc staying on and in one place for to long creating a rather large puddle which is causing my weld width to go out of Spec.
I have tried to match point for point from start to off, as well as a few other manual adjustments. I think I might need to change the seemdata for at least that one ending move for each ending move but I want to make sure that is what I should do and maybe get some advice on how to do it.
Using an S4c+ Controller on an ABB 1400.
Thank you and God Bless,
Joey

To energize the valve with RAPID all I need to do is create it as a UNIT? Then activate the UNIT and deactivate the UNIT as needed to control the position of the valve?

Thank you so much for the advice. The valve type will really help. I am sure I will have many more questions before I am done with this. Thank you once again.

Hello,
My name is Joey. I currently am the programmer for 5 ABB robots which are mig welders at my company. 3 of which are on IRC5 controllers.
I have a set up with a two sided turn table (IRBP K-600). The operator manually closes the cylinder on the load side and, as of right now, that is how the cylinder stays until the load side comes back around.
I need to keep a pneumatic cylinder extended until the end of a program. For the last weld to be able to be made I need to retract that cylinder and then I can make my last weld.
my thoughts are to use a solenoid operated air valve to retract the cylinder and place a reed switch on the back of the cylinder for the input of go/no go on the weld. The valve will de-energize as the table goes to the load side. To allow the operator to manipulate the part or parts onto the fixture. I am just not sure how to tie this into the robot.
Any advice would be nice. Thank you ahead of time.
God Bless,
Joey
