It doesn't appear that there is load idenfication but using GripLoad I was able to place a tyre onto the gripper and have it lift it. It seems more difficult to place it though as the change in load when the tyre is placed seems to crash the robot due to change in load and so I had to have the robot move down gradually changing the load each move as the object is placed down but this seems quite complicated for lifting and placing an object.

How would I go about setting a new load for a gripper? I used GripLoad load1 and set the value of load1 to 150kg but got an error 40660 that mentioned undefined load centre of gravity when I tried to run it.

Thanks I was able to find it. There are values for trans, rot, cog and aom. Would I need all of these values or would it only be xyz in trans and the q1-q4 in rot. I can attach an image if necessary

I am trying to set up a robot in an offline programming software and need information on the current TCP, coordinate systems, reference system for our ABB IRB 2400L. Would I be able to get this information from a backup of the controller?

Hello, I am currently using a trial version of RoboDK and was wondering how I setup my station so that the virtual world matches the real world. I have been able to load programs made in RoboDK into my robot but the points are off where they are meant to be.

I am currently working with a welding robot and haven't yet setup the cell walls around the robot work area. When I setup the cell I know that if someone enters the cell when the robot is running the robot must stop but I was wondering if someone was to enter the cell when a welding program was running thus stopping the program how would I continue the program once it is safe again. I was thinking that I would have to forward the program to the next weld and go from there filling in the incomplete weld either by creating a short program or by using a stick welder. Is there an easier solution to continue the weld program that I am missing?

I've been looking through some of the different offline programming softwares and was interested to see opinions on the best software available that can be used to program ABB robots (must be able to at least work with ABB but is good if it can work with other brands too). I am currently trying RoboDK and was able to create a basic program and then have the robot run it.

I just got a hold of ABB and they said that Robot studio is designed to work with the newer generation of robots (IRC5) and that it does not work with the older S4C controller and that it is no longer supported. Im wondering can ABB not offer support because how old the controller is but is there a way to still get the S4C to work with Robot studio or a similar program to allow me to offline program.

There is a floppy disk emulator that accepts a usb.

How would I then transfer the program made in robot studio to my robot as there is no Ethernet connection in the controller.

I saved a backup of a program and then tried to create a new solution from backup but the create is greyed out which means im clearly doing something wrong. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong. When I go into system builder and try to create from backup I am not sure the folders to select for media pool or backup folder.

I'm considering getting robot studio so that I can offline program a robot instead of having to use a teach pendant but I don't have much experience with the software and so want to get familiar with it before I buy. I wanted to load a basic program from robot studio onto my robot to see it run in real life. How would I go about to do this.

I was wondering if it is possible to make a part in SolidWorks and then import this into Robot Studio. Once the part is in robot studio create a program within Robot Studio to weld the part and then transfer the program to an ABB robot so that it can run the program.

I managed to get it sorted. There was a wire loose causing a load of problems.

Have you tried turning the controller off and on again?
-
I am working with an ABB 2400L and this error seems to pop up as soon as I try to jog the robot (see attached image). I've seen this message once before and turning the controller off and then on again seemed to fix the problem but I've tried this and it doesn't seem to be help. Does anyone why this error appeared and how to fix it?
-
I'm not sure if it is installed but I'll look into it. But it sounds like that's the solution. Thanks.

I was just wondering does a zone need to be set up to stop the robot being able to crash into a cell wall and if so is this done through set a world zone.
-
I am currently working with a fanuc robot that doesn't yet have a cell wall around it but when the cell is built around the robot would I have to teach a working area for the robot within the cell so that the robot can never reach far enough to do damage to the cell walls. If this is the case I thought this could be done through world zones. In the attached image the red line indicates where the robots work area would be set to so that the robot should stop before a collision with a wall can occur.

You could have the teach pendant display a question at the start of the program asking if the belt tensioner is on. This link might help http://developercenter.robotstudio.com/BlobProxy/manu…ual/doc252.html
Just replace the "more? " with a question about the belt tensioner.
