Also correct a blank white screen

After I do all that it just goes to a “blank white screen” and just stops there. I can’t access anything after.
-
I’ll give it a shot thank you
-
And I’m also see a “I/O point not simulated” I’m so confused 🤷♂️.
-
How do I restore the image? Hold “prev/next” then power on the control panel. Go to “maintenance”. Then where do I go? I’ve done all the option I can think of.

Now the teach pendant is stuck in legacy mode black and white screen and won’t do anything. Says “core plugins mismatch”.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I’ve been running the same program for about a month now. I come in today and when the robot try’s to execute a search. Before it touched anything I get a “contact before search”. I’ve checked the liner, rebooted the control panel, checked the lead itself. I’ve also created a “test program” and moved the robot completely away from the work area to see if the search would work and still “contact before search”.
Thanks for any advice in advance

Tell us a little more: base material, filler metal, gas, process,...
Base material (3/8 inch carbon steel) filler metal (0.45 steel wire) Gas (90% argon, 10% carbon dioxide) Process (Gmaw)

Hello there
The most important thing that have to be concern when you want to Robotize your Welding process :- Minimize Gap Size
- Stability from your JIG or others
- Try to Eliminate 2G, 3G, 3F in Horizontal position, 2G Vertical position and also overhead like 4F, 4G and 5G because it is quite difficult for robot to be handled.
i suggest to use additional positioner to make your welding in Flat position.
I appreciate the feedback, And i agree 100%. This is the company i work for first robot. And its a pick and place massive robot trying to weld in very tight areas. What i was taught the easier the angle/path for the robot the better it will perform.

I'm attempting to get my robot to weld overhead. Robot is a S-900ib 200 version 6.4 controller is a R-j3ib. With a Lincoln power wave 455m as a power source. I have had little success but only while welding on low voltage and amperage etc. When i try to beef my weld up it looks terrible. I'm also running a circular weave pattern. Ive changed my angle/weld parameters/weave sch. but noting seems to work.
Thanks in advance!

Easiest way would be to use a wire clip station in addition to a wire brake. Clip the wire to a known distance, turn on the wire brake (before moving the arm from the clipper), and then perform your search. When the wire brake is turned on, it holds the wire in position so it is unable to move about on it's own. As far as I can tell this appears to generally be an optional feature of the weld gun or the torch mount.
Thanks for the advice we built a wire clip/cleaning station and the wire is exactly the same length every time. And my wire rollers in the wire feed were not locked into place therefor making the wire push back into the tip when it made contact.

Hi everyone, question.... Sometimes my robot misses a search and when it misses a search (no contact with part) it faults. is there a statement i can write into the program if the robot doesn't make contact on search for it to just take the last contact recorded and not fault. If that makes sense. Or should i change where im searching. im searching at the beginning/end of each weld path (x,z) search motions.
(reason it misses search) a piece of the bracket the robot is welding is bent differently depending on who bends them.

1 - at Chrysler where I used to work, we trimmed the wire to length every cycle with a little pneumatic snipper with the robot. Once your wire is the same length every time, I would re-master it with the proper length wire.
2 - you're probably going to want to search closer to the weld than the white dot shown in the picture. Not 100% sure what scale is, but I would probably want to search within an inch of where the weld is going to go.
3 - are you searching at both the beginning and the end of the weld? I would search in "X & Z" at both the start and end of the weld positions.
4 - do you have weaving on or off? Automatic seam follow?
Hope this helps some.
No, ive only searched at the beginning of the weld. now im just trying anything to see if it works. trial/error kind of mindset at the moment. i have weaving turned on. "Automatic seam follow" i dont think i know what that means. im a newbie with the Fanuc robots ive read thousands of pages while studying the manuals. and i appreciate any advice. cause where i work im the only one who "knows" or has experience with any kind of robot.
-
And goes all the way up and i have no idea why or what to do to correct it
-
it touches at that white dot
-
I honestly think that is my problem. That my wire is at different lengths when it touches. how would i go about making sure my wire is at the proper length each time? And with PR(32) im pretty sure youre correct when i read the manual on touch sensing it says PR(32) is a default temp setting.

heres another picture of the bracket

I'm in need of some help...
I'm trying to program a S-900iB 200 fanuc robot with a R-J3iB system. At the moment im trying to tackle this touch sensing. Because all of the parts can change or not be put in fixture properly. And when i think ive successfully finished, it all the welds are off. Ive (mastered the program) turned the master flag off. it will do 3 good brackets then after that its all down hill. The bracket has three pieces 1st is a piece that gets bent in machine shop, 2nd is a 4x4, and third is a 3in x 5 5/8in piece of steel.
Any advice would be great. like how many PRs do i need currently using (a PR for each touch)? search pattern im currently using (fillet/lap 2D_shift) record contact in PR (32). start searches with (search schedule, and PR) end with (touch offset PR and Offset end).
Thanks in advance.

You cannot use Sine 2 weave pattern in conjunction with TAST. The frequency is too fast. Try a Sine weave instead for lower frequency.

Okay, thanks for the response! ill give it a shot.
