Is the physical number of the weave frequency changing? Or is just looks like it is changing?

What kind of Controller/Power Supply are you using? Also what kind of welding process are you using?

Can you add another Arc Start before the corner and arc end after the corner to get what you need. Or just adjust your torch angle up while going around the corner.

Under Menu, Setup, F1 Type select Override select. They might be set to 10%?

As in add an remark? If you're on a blank line you can select "INSERT" scroll over and select "Miscellaneous" then "Remark"

Try checking the contactors behind the estop board. We had an issue with one of our machines and the contactors were sticking.

Typically it does, but once I get to the end of the groups and start from group 1 again they do not show current running job anymore. Cell is not in production yet so I still have time to figure it out. Just confused on what controls current running jobs and what controls it to no longer display current job per group.

I have a Cell with 5 groups, Robot 1 (Group 1) Robot 2 (Group 2) Fixture A (Group 3) Fixture B (Group 4) Turn Table (Group 5), It will continue to runs jobs and "yes" I can just use the monitor function in the Select button, but when I cycle through the groups with the group button 1-5 when I get back to Group 1 it reverts back to a program that's not running. All my other cells will keep the jobs open corresponding to the groups running. I know I've fixed this before. I just can't for the life of me remember how I did it last time. Also the jobs keep running but it does not display current job while switching through groups.

Trying to setup a single robot controller and I was curious if anyone had a program with all the variables for setup. I have programs for 2 robot cell setup and 3 robot cell setup but I have never set up a single Robot controller with no external axis. Trying to setup a controller, so we can refurb our robots and test them before putting said robots into a cell and not have them work to only pull them out and try to figure out what's wrong. Controller I am using was pulled off a 3 robot cell with 3 externals axis's.

You could set the program override to 50 75 whatever your need is and then in BGLogic you could use the same program override variable to set the speeds back to 100 IF arc detect was ON

Are your inputs turning on? Can you just simulate digital inputs to get a weld start?

If anything you could always use replace under the "EDCMD" button to change all % movements to a desired speed, I know its still 40 programs but at least you don't have to go line by line.

Find the FCTN key on the top right side of pendant and when your press it, a menu should pop up and have an option for START (COLD)

Did you try to use the Function button and cold start it?

The worst crash I think I have had is when we were out of town working onsite and in the sweep table job I forgot to put WAIT for R1,R2 and R3 home...well with all things combined, the guy touching up some points never sent the robots completely home. Table went to sweep and took out all 3 robots. We ended up staying for a couple more days after that

I've been digging, have not found anything yet. Will continue to dig :). Sad part is the integrator has since closed. So I couldn't get ahold of those guys to see what they did differently.

Only slow when in teach mode. When shift fwd/bwd to execute the program. It’s so slow that our PR_SYNC times out when the 3 robots are trying to run a pns program in teach. Speed is displayed as 100% when in teach mode while running programs. To be honest I’d say it’s around 10-15% when moving. We have 30 triple mig cells and we only are having issues with two.

Sadly it was not an issue with BGLOGIC either. Guess its time to dig deeper

O wow I have not check the bglogic I will as soon as I have the chance. N get back to ya

Nope the robots are mounted above the welding fixtures, all cells are triple robot, turn table style robots. A-side B-side type deal
