Hey guys when I am exporting iges files form solidworks and importing them as a tool, part, or machine into roboguide I often have issue with files that are larger. The fanuc Iges converter freezes up, even if I let it run all night. Small files work fine, it seems to either come in right away or it doesn't work. I am running on a high performance PC. File Sizes from 400mb to 750mb. Do you guys have any suggestions for how to help avoid this issue or maybe a different way I should be exporting my files?
Thanks,

Does anyone have any videos or explanations on how to do this? I have not done this process before.
Thanks,

I should also mention we are unloading a reel of seal material as well so as we go around the part the speed should be constant through the radius as well

Hello guys,
I have an application where I am moreless tracing the outside of a part, it has some curves and straight to it. What is the best method to doing this? I am currently at the stage where I have it all in roboguide. Using an m710ic

Yes, if thats how it is in my application I cann't do it anyother way it will just have to be something I will have to deal with.
Thanks

Is there a way to adjust the time on this startup delay?

Hey Guys,
I have 2 robots in a cell working together. They both have similar movements. However when I reset my light curtain, I am sending them all pulses at the same time except the one robot starts up faster. From light curtain reset to the "Click" noise the robot makes and starts moving. Is this a timer set somewhere in the configuration? It would be nice to get it setup as fast as possible as it adds cycle time to my machine.
Thanks,

This worked great, thank you very much.

is there also a way to set it from a GI?

Hello guys,
I made a quick program to set speed to 100% when it auto. I can step through the program fine, but when I set it as BG Logic, it gives me a santax error. Do you know why?

I ended up just using DCS zones that "Do Nothing" and mapped them to a DO

Under Menu --> Setup --> Space Fnct.
Is it possible to somehow have more then 10?

Be careful with that method. Like the article says, the values are not updated when the robot is jogged.Yes thank you, this will be acceptable in my application.

How do I setup my robot to send a live X position value to my PLC via Ethernet IP.

Okay, I will give this a try, thank you.

You don't have to use PNS. You can just use the "Other" method, press detail, and select your main program. Make sure you have set "start for continue only" in the system config, and you not using UI[6] unless you want to resume from where you left off.I had the "start for continue only" set wrong I fixed this.
You said to use the "other" method. Where do I select this method? -
Hello Guys,
I am using UI 18 (Prod Start) To launch a main program my robot runs, from there my PLC decides what subroutines to run based on several if statements.
I am attempting to use CStop to exit out of all my programs and then launch my main program from UI 18 again. The reason for this is under my machine "home" condition, it would stop running all subroutines except the Home routine. However when its already in a routine it is aborting, (UO 3 & 4 = OFF) I set in the system config for the CStop to ABort & ABort All. However when I launch my main program, what ever routine is currently up on the pendant, it goes to the top of this program. How to i run my Main program again?
Thanks,
