can we connect any positioner (rotator/ external axis) with robot and synchronize with that robot ?

NITESH_SONI

we have one external axis i.e. Positioner which is belt drive.I Want to connect another external axis i.e. Positioner with robot which is gear drive and want to synchro with robot. This Positioner we use for another application. Is that possible that this Positioner can we connect with robot and synchronize that?

Hallo, your robot controller needs to have option for external axis and a servo controller for each additional axis. Type of that controller must be ABB, motor(so on your positioner) could be from another maker, but I would recommend ABB-type if you are novice with external axis applications.

If connected to the controller, you can use a work-object or a second task for synchronisation.

See rapid manual for that.
