Convert Fanuc targets to ABB?

bickford

Good Morning,

Is there a way to convert Fanuc robot targets to ABB?

 

We just finished up a plastic routing cell using an IRB4400 and IRBP.  The cell is preforming great, and is much faster and more accurate than the older Fanuc cells it is replacing.  Until now all of the programming has been done in Robotstudio with solid files.  The problem is we now have ~50 legacy parts to program that have never been replicated in 3D.  We basically need to program from a master part which was handmade.

I would really like to avoid manually teaching the parts if at all possible, so I am trying to find a way to convert the position data from the existing programs in the fanuc cells.

Thank you for any help or suggestions,

Just a matter of writing an addin which converts Fanuc positions into robtargets. I have this in the working loop (together with some other manufactures) so hopefully it will show up in the RobotApp's in a couple of months so it will be easy to move from xxx to ABB robots :-)

@PerSvensson was this ever added to robot apps?

I wrote a rapid module which will convert Yaskawa Motoman files into Rapid modules that you can load.
