This is typically as close as I can get when trying to my points after running the built in calibration tool in Roboguide. I did not use UFrames for this test program. But Ive done several of our robots now and this is usually as close as I can get. This makes for alot of touchups to the program in the real world after transfering from roboguide. I would like to do less touchups if possible. Any suggestions on how to get an even more accurate calibration?

If you shift an object in any direction and know how much you moved it is the a way to shift the program by the certain amount of movement and have all your points still be accurate?
-
Ya you may need to install the correct virtual controller.
-
Is there a way export data from programs in MC to an excel file? Im trying to put programs and created dates into spreadsheet for each robot we have (we have 10+ robots and 1000's of programs). Just wondering if there was an easy way about doing this.
-
dont think so.

You have to change the orgin in Inventor. Constrain your part to the origin.
-
Curious, how are you doing the calibration between the real robot and the virtual one?

This is quite trivial to do with the UFRAME OFFSET utility in the utilities menu. I recommend you experiment with it.By doing this will the points adjust accordingly once the user frame is retaught after maintenance is done on the robot (motor replacement on j2)?

Following, we 10+ robots with 100's of programs and no UFrames set up. So when a robot breaks down and repaired, the programs all have to be retouched line by line since there is no UFrame set up. If we can add UFrames and update them offline to include UFrames in the program this would be huge for us!

We just purchased Octopuz and are underway of getting it all setup. We currently have weld pro and I am not a fan. I Will try and post back once we are up and running but so far the tech support has been awesome.curious, why are you not a fan? We are running. Im running weld pro as well and calibrating virtual and real has been quite the headache.

within the cell browser you should be able to right click on the 'part' and export it to iges or stl.

Old thread, but why or how does this solution work? What are those variables for?

What is the most accurate and/or easiest way to set your TCP? Im have different weld torches and wire lengths so I have to keep readjusting and have a hard time of getting this setting accurate in Roboguide/WeldPro. I go to UTOOL tab then check Edit UTOOL then manually move the TCP to where i think it should be. I know this is not accurate but dont know any better.

You can get these off your AoA backup and load them to the variable section of the cell browser.

USER frame definition MUST be done BEFORe
Because the calibration program is created using the Frame
Then when you load the touched up calibrated program the offset is calculated to update the object/part position
kWhen I do the calibration program it always uses UFrame 0. When I apply the offset i do it to the robot itself as my object/part is a cradle that is in a horizontal position and applying the offset to it would ruin the position when it needs to rotate. When I do the calibration program creates my 3 point program I need to change it to use the UFrame that im using?
-
So Ive been doing the calibration procedure and apply the offset to the robot. Then I redo the User Frame 3 point method.
So what I should be doing is:1. Do calibration procedure
2. apply calibration offset
3. Input Uframe number from real robot to roboguide via direct entry? -
When you say, User Frame should be the same in both the real and virtual controllers, how do I go about doing this?
