RobotStudio 5.10 and Conveyor tracking

Dear all,
I am working now on my first robot project. The aim of it is to program FlexPicker with IRC5 using conveyor tracking feature (picking an object from a moving conveyor and placing it into a box on the other moving conveyor).
To my great sorrow I've just learned that RS5.10 does not support conveyor tracking feature. Thus the only way to go on working seems either in using RS4 and then transfer  programme to IRC5, or to  programme the real robot when it is available onsite. Could anyone tell his ideas about this point please. Perhaps there can be some walkarounds or any.
Thank you in advance.

Sincerely yours,
Serguey Ostashev

  • Hi Serguey,

    One workaround is to use a normal static workobject when you program in RS. And then before you download the program to the real robot, you change to a workobject moved by cnv.

    It is very easy to move a workobject manually in RS to verify the working range.
