Thank you guys for the help. Now getting this thing into the real robot.... If i transfer the TP file I will get all the points. However my machine would not be 100% exactly to cad. If i needed to keep the path but need to apply an offset/rotation to the whole path to line it up to the real world, what is the best approach to doing this. Or any methods of fine tuning this path in the real world. This is my first time doing a pathing type robot program. Everything I have done up to this point has been pick and place.

Thank you, I did this and then used interconnects to make it into a DO

I am trying to find out if I can use a fixture as a zone, then use a disabling input. So I can use it as a common zone (including my made robot tool) rather then the space function that only uses TCP. However I am not finding a way to enable and disable fixtures.

I know I've done this quite easily before. How to use a DCs zone to set a do?

So I am having trouble setting up the BIC. I have not done this before. I have setup the ripe. I added both robots in. I set up a robot hand and a fixture. Anytime I try to do a move it says communication failure. When I restart the controllers they said RIPE Robot 1 or 2 online, and I can ping each robot from the other one. Also when I change some of the info it is changing on both of my robots. So they must be communicating. But anytime I move I am getting this error.
I am just following along in the fanuc manual. What I am trying to accomplish is having my 2 robots in my cell have a space check so that they wont bump into each other. The cross through a common zone when picking up parts. Maybe I am doing something totally wrong. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? I was trying to setup a Robot Hand to Robot hand comparison but it looks like I need IIC to do that. So I setup my interference zone as a fixture. Is this the right approach?
Attached are some pictures of my settings
Thanks,

Yes you are correct I am using the BIC. Thank you.

I am currently following the manual to setup space check. I see the ability to use a cylinder and spheres to make a tool. My tool is almost like a rectangle box. Is there a way to use a box or to use a cad file?

We now have a handful of fuses in stock
-
We had a wiring issue inside the connector resulting in a blown fuse. Replaced the fuse, popped in the jumpers and we were good to go. Time to trouble shoot wiring. Thanks for your help guys
-
Blown 1A Fuse. Have a new one on order. Thanks guys. This should fix the problem im hoping
-
The only thing throwing the external emergency stops fault would be related to those jumpers correct? Would there be any system config settings that could cause it as well?
-
Hey guys, I have a couple robots here and I am having an issue. I had all 4 of them moving with the factory jumpers in, I Started working on 2 of them, and the other 2 were fully wired in. I then needed to move one before the rest of the machine was finished so I popped the jumpers from one robot into the one i need to move. I am now getting an external emergency stop fault. I am not sure why. A couple guys have been in there, where should I start to check this?
-
It is part of the UTool, when i hide the tool it disappears and it travels with it. It is not the robot work envelope
-
This may be a silly question but my EOAT has a big blue bubble on it. It shows up in the simulation video as well. What is this and how do I remove it?
Thanks,

all points are cnt 5

Thanks for the help, I now am having good success with this. How do I try to speed it up. I am running at speed of 650, based on how many inches i am covering I am going about 1/4 the speed of that. I am running a point every 7 mm. Changing this seems to speed it up, but thats starting to get pretty far apart. Any suggestions?

This is constantly a struggle, even after stripping our machines right down to just frames we are still in the neighborhood of 350mb, which is most cases wont import. I have to break it into a bunch of pieces and put it back together it literally takes me hours. Especially when we make a simulation to show a customer and it has to " look nice "
-
This is seeming to get me into the right direction, I will play with this
-
I have a couple options here and I have been playing with them. Basically i have the option to keep a normal face and turn the tool. Keep a normal face and do not turn the face. Or do Neither. I don't seem to have a way to turn the tool but don't keep the face normal.

I am now using the cad to generate edges to follow however I do have a question. I would like the robots head to rotate about Z, but stay straight up and down, and not rotate about X & Y, is this possible?
