Hi All,
Is it possible to import a tool model in Roboguide with multiple variations?
The application I am building requires one main gripper cylinder with multiple different fingers that are bolted to the cylinder dependant on the part that is running. Is there a way you can attach a main gripper tool then add different fingers on?
The only way I can think of would be to add the main gripper as a dressout on axis 6 then add the fingers as the gripper (offset correctly).
Thanks,
Josh
Hi All,
Think I may already know the answer this but want to check before I start doing them all manually.
I am building a repeat cell for a customer and I have the original backups with the program points that I want to keep. My issue is that all the points were taught to no User Frame and Incorrect User Tool, I can use the offset function from the utility menu to convert each program individually but I have 100s of programs to do. Is there any other way of doing this? I've looked at editing the text file but it doesn't convert the position coordinates like the utility function. Any help would be appreciated but guess I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and do it the long way... 
Thanks
Josh
Apologies for this, no quicker than I sent this I found another thread with the same issue. The RSLinx background tasks were inhibiting the connection.
Hi All,
I am trying to connect my workcell on Roboguide to my AB 1756-L81ES PLC. I have seen a few threads/guides/videos online and followed all the steps but I cannot get the connection working. I have created a generic Ethernet/IP module on the Studio5000 but the status is faulted and the module fault is Code 16#0315 Connection Request Error: Invalid Segment Type.
My Fanuc settings are as follows :
Host Comm
Port 1 IP addr: 192.168.1.99 (same as PC)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Board address: ********
Router IP addr: ********
PC Jog IP addr: 192.168.0.100
OP Panel IP addr: 192.168.0.100
PLC : 192.168.1.1
Ethernet I/O
Input size: 4
Output size: 4
System Variables
$EIP_ENBL_IO : 1
Does anyone have any ideas or come across the same issue? Thought it may be something to do with the port forwarding on the PC itself but just a guess. Any advice would be massively appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh
Thankyou for your replies. We ended up remastering A5 but still had the same issue. Ended up offsetting it slightly to bring it back parallel. I'm guessing it was still not correct as we didn't remaster A2 & A3. Will do a check mastering to see how far they are out.
Hi all,
I'm working on a Kuka palletizing robot (KR300PA_2 S C4 FLR) and the gripper is not running parallel to the object that it is picking (first time working on a palletizing robot). I can modify the angle by disabling $pal_mode and moving A5 but didn't know if there was a way to record this value or is it just done by remastering A5?
As soon at $pal_mode is enabled A5 needs to be driven 180. Can i modify the 180 value somewhere in the system?
Thanks
Thank you for your responses, changing the workspace values depending on the program selected could be my only option then.
Hi All,
Is it possible to add more workspaces to the robot other than the standard 8 that are configurable via the teach pendant? I am working on a cell where there is a number of handover scenarios between 2 robots and want to add outputs that are only triggered by the robot when in certain positions.
Thanks
