Hey everybody,

i've got a little question foy you. We want to convert positions from nesting jobs of a "ESAB cutting machine with "Columbus" programming system "to "robtargets", "jointtargets"! Has anyone a idea how we can handle that? Or does anyone know if there is already a programm for that special situation?

Best regards "7"

    Hi,
    What kind of output format do you get from the "Columbus programming system"? If you can export a file with X,Y and Z coordinates and the approach vector, it will probably be possible to create RS targets of them with help of an addin in RS.

    I have made an addin that does this for some different "CAD/CAM" formats.

    If you mail me an example of a "columbus file" can I test if itA's possible to do the same with these files.

    Best regards,
