I read an article in an automation newspaper where they described a special option to the ABB robot for machining round holes with good precision and now i cant remember what that option was called and i cant find it on the ABB website. Anyone know this option? I think it worked in a way that it locked or reduced the movement of some robot axes for better precision.

    Hello,

    The option is option 602-1 Advanced Shape Tuning. Attached is the Application manual2008-02-07_231820_MotionPerformance_3HAC18153-1_RevB.zip


    Advanced Shape Tuning offers the possibility to compensate for frictional effects that might appear at low speed cutting (10-100 mm/s).
    The option gives the user access to tuning parameters and the possibility to change the tuning parameters during program execution with RAPID commands in the robot program. The tuning is performed by the user and for each specific shape.
