IRT710 lubrification

daniel72

We have a IRT710 axis with automatic lubrication (MEMOLUB EPS pump controlled by the robot via a digital output).
ABB recommended activating the pump every 6 days in the product manual.

I would like to activate the pump depending on the distance traveled by the axis. Is there a way in RAPID to read the distance traveled by the IRT710, e.g., from the SIS data, like the gearbox hours of the 710?

Thank You

Daniel

Yes.  There is a function, GetAxisDistance, that will return a Dnum of the distance traveled in meters for a linear track or degrees for a rotational axis.
