I have my coordinated pairs setup now. Would this be a program that uses a run statement for both arms to work or make them both arms in one program?

Does anyone know if it's possible to coordinate 2 M710 with an aux axis for coordinated motion. Example of would be welding a circumferential seam on a pressure vessel. The vessel will be rotated via aux axis, 2 m710's would stay stationary weaving weld into seam. To me seems like you can't have them both asking the aux acid to be the leader because they are both asking to be the follower

I have questions for an experienced operator/installer. But first to let you know what we're working with here.
ArcMate 120iB/10L R30iA
(2) Auxilary axis with the arm in the center between the 2 axis (axis's, axii, axises,??? however it's said)
Thermal Dynamics Autocut 300
Lincoln 455MQuestion: While running our plasma EOAT, let's say the arm crashes into the work piece, the plasma continues to run, until a hard shutdown happens. Or we navigate to the I/O screen, locate DO tied with plasma, and shut it off. Same result happens whether a light fence is broken or when an E-STOP is engaged. Is it possible to shut this plasma off without having to do the steps listed above, whether it logically controlled through ArcMate or some other method I am not currently aware of?
I called our installer and was informed that the controller has an e-stop output that should be connected to the plasma's e-stop input. If that is the case then why wouldn't the plasma stop operating when any alarm with a high severity, prompt it to stop working?
Thank you in advance

Trying to "GRP1 weld enable" not "GRP1 and GRP2" while still allowing "GRP2" to move from position to position without welding. These are two separate sub-routines working in tandem to complete one subroutine, inside of one call program, inside an RSR. If that makes any sense at all

Is it possible to weld enable/disable a single group on a true dual arm robotic weld cell, while running a program?

Looking for a knowledgeable programmer that understands how multi-pass works out of the program header information. I have everything setup for what I believe to be correct but this warning prompts every time I execute top level program, anyone have any ideas? First picture is main program on left panel, first part of sub on right. Second picture is warning on left panel, second half of sub on right

Is there a variable that can be adjusted, that when deadman switch is held that tell the brakes to release and power servos on? This cell originally did not do this, but now every time system is in T1 mode, you can hold the deadman switch and brakes release. I'm worried that constant engage/disengage is going to tire my servos

Is it possible to use DI[n] to input a value into R[n].
For instance R[30]=DI[47] where every time DI[47] is triggered to an on state it adds 1 to the value of the contents in R[30]? -
I am running a True Dual Arm system M710-20L, using group 2 to touch sense a Fillet/Lap pattern using a 2D Shift with ROT, and i cannot generate an offset for selected PR. I've eliminated all the usual suspects such as: Reference Group is correct for search schedule, Group Mask is correct for Search schedule, in PR I've selected the specified PR selected group 2 and it shows zero's across the board. I have not encountered any errors while mastering the search, nor any while i run the search with master flag off. Side note when i select specified PR I show data for group 1 in Joint and Cartesian, group 2 shows zero's for Cartesian and Joint=Invalid Kinematic solution. My contact PR shows data as well. Am I going crazy or what? Is there a hiearchy at work not directing properly? I know that there's an offset b/c there's always an offset of some kind and i have physically moved the part

Are you asking what these variables do?
Or you do not know what they are for? -
When performing a search Using 2DShift_ROT i can master the pattern but when applying the offset to a path, Robot Faults out with Geometric Computing Error. Does anyone know a remedy for this. I dont think this matters but, my searches are in the -Y direction and -X direction 2 of each. So therefore my Rotation is on the Z axis

Has anyone had success using iRvison to weld corrugated steel, such as conex storage boxes, or structural beams. Or another type of sensing technology such as a laser scanning. Im welding with 2 M710/20L arms R30iC. The parts that im attempting to weld are storm shelters. which measure 8'x12'x6'2", with the walls and roof all being corrugated here via a 250 ton press. I do not currently have iRvision, only touch offsets. Im polling the forum mostly so i dont buy something that i dont need. So my questions are:
1. Will iRvision work with this type of weld joining process, if so what additional items will i need besides the cable and camera i.e. software, hardware
2. Would i need iRvision camera for both arms or just one?
3. Is the iRvision capable of scanning a seam?
4. Does Fanuc make a scanning tool to scan a seam such as a laser scanner or would that be a third-party integration?
5. Could I use a digitizer pen to plot a path to a CAD file send it to WeldPro and then send it to the robot? -
Im getting a degenerative circle error after I "Touch Up" Circle points that include coordinated motion on an Auxiliary axis. I have 3 sets of points
C [P1] WELDSPEED CNT100 moves to 90°
[P2] WELDSPEED CNT100 COORD moves to 160°
C [P3] WELDSPEED CNT100 moves to 180°
[P4] WELDSPEED CNT100 COORD moves to 200°
C [P5] WELDSPEED CNT100 moves to 270°
[P6] WELDSPEED CNT100 COORD moves to 360°
The reason for the move to the 160° to 180° to 200° is i have to change the attitude of my EOAT for clearance of part im welding
If i touch up any of these i result in that error, even if i touch up the point without jogging the arm any ideas?
Its an RJ3ic
Tandem M710ic arms -
So is this weld piece underneath the gun does it rotate on another manipulator that's controlled by the arm. Like a group 2

Try using PR[n] to do this, I'm thinking this has already been discussed in the forum and you can cut to whatever size you desire in whatever position. I'm not at my robot now to give the exact code for it but it's not too difficult

You cannot manipulate RPM[] data. Well you can but, your looking at computer memory not any actual positional data. So editing it would result in either, an incorrect "playback" or program will fault out. If RPM does not complete to the Track End[], it will not work for your MP OFFSET. If its stopping in the same spot, maybe try stopping and starting a TAST[] RPM[] in middle of weld seam, while welding concurrent.

Another option you can try is navigating to the weave setup screen. 1. Menu 2. Setup 3. Weave-from there scroll down to the azimuth and change to 90 degree or 45 dergree whatever you desire. 90 degree acts more like a back step than weaving side to side.
