Two robot conveyor tracking with two sync switches

NFC

Hi All,

 

How is it possible to setup a stations with more than one robot, one unique conveyor mechanism, so that robots connect to conveyor in different positions?

 

In other words: have a conveyor that is bringing a piece. This piece will reach 1st robot that process it, then after some meter the piece reach the 2nd robot that process it.

Program on both robots have to be the same.

 

In past I managed to setup it by moving the task-frame on the 2nd robot but not anymore (I believe since RS5.14)

 

Some hints?

UP !

Hi NFC,

The procedure to setup conveyor systems has not been changed in 5.14.

And yes, you should move the Task Frame for the second robot.

Thank you Anders for you reply.

I think then that some "Issue" have been introduced between 5.13.03 and 5.14, 'cause this don't work anymore.

Have built a very simple station with 2 robots, displaced the 2 robots in X direction by the task frame (lets say 1000mm). By jogging the conveyor mechanism, both workobjects will connect and drop exactly at the same point. And this is not correct.

Before they connected/dropped in different points (exactly 1000mm difference) and it was correct.

 

Is this already identified or do you need some more detailed description/material?

Is this forum the right place to report it or have I to write it in C2?

 

Thank you very much,

Nils

Hi Nils,

Please report the problem in C2. If possible, add a Pack and Go to the C2 case.
