RobotStudio event

Carried wobj bug in RS 3.1?

If I rotate the user frame of a work object which has Robhold=true, the associated targets and paths are repositioned as expected in the graphics pane. However, after synch to VC, 'move along path' moves through the old rather than the new target positions. Inspection of the program reveals that the work object data has not changed.

If I rotate the object frame instead of the user frame, everything works correctly.

Regards

  • Hi Kevin

    Take a look in the programbrowser to see if there is a temppath and if so delete it and then syncronize again and try.

    Because sometimes the tempath isn't deleted (created when you do a move along path) and then you usally get this kind of behavior

  • Hi Per,

    There is no tempath in the program browser.

    I have attached the station with controller so you can try it yourself.

    Targets 8,9 & 10 were originally created on the top edge of Part1.

    I used Modify/Rotate to rotate the user frame of wobjRobot using the following parameters:

    Reference: Local; Base: 0,0,100; Rotation: -2 about X.

  • Hi Kevin

    The key is that you can't have the workobject attached to the robot while rotating it. So detach the workobject from the robot and then rotate it and after that attach it to the robot again and I think you will be okay.

  • Hi Per,

    That did the trick!

    Thanks a lot,
