For the SRVO-051 my R-J3 book says:

1. Replace the servo amplifier.
2. If this does not clear the alarm, verify that all connectors are securely connected.

You may want to take another look at those cables and connectors.

You can change the sensitivity of collision guard programatically. In the collision guard setup you have to set a register to use for sensitivity. Use it to decrease sensitivity when interacting with the chuck and then increase sensitivity when done.

1: R[13:Col Guard Sensitivity]=75
2: Col Guard Adjust
3: Blah
4: Blah
5: Blah
6: R[13:Col Guard Sensitivity]=100
7: Col Guard Adjust

I know this is not exactly what you're looking for, but it will give you more control over when the robot stops due to collision detections.

I don't know if you can find those pre-assembled but, if you google something like Wire Harness Assembly you should be able to find a company to make those for you.

I also have several RJ3s with various versions of HandlingTool. None of them have the IF(...) statement.

Alternatively you could use a program call

1: IF R[1]<>1 OR R[2]<>1, CALL PRG001

PRG001
1: DO[1]=ON

Depending on what you are doing with your process, you can add other lines in PRG001 to do whatever else happens along with the output turning on. Then you can potentially call this in other programs as well.

There is a way to do this. I think you have to have the Menu Utility option. An Operator Entry menu and/or List menu will do this. The Operator Entry menu can be configured to accept various types of data such as boolean, numeric, etc. The List menu can be configured to list up to 8 items or so that can be selected.

Does your eoat turn with axis 6? I sometimes see this when a bearing fails in my gripper and there is too much friction at low jog speeds.

The other thing that comes to mind is that your brake may be sticking after the momentary power loss when you turn the pendant on.

I often see this on my RJ3 robots. Push the e-stop on the teach pendant, then reset it and your SRVO-237 should go away. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts. Afterwards you should be able to clear the SRVO-230.
