External Axis Wizard issue in 5.60

lessan

    I have created a system with a 6700 and a 500C in RobotStudio 5.60. I have added two MTD250's and am trying to use the external axis wizard to make them usable. When I select them and click NEXT I get an Unhandled Exception. You can see the error in the attachment.

     I have also tried making the system from layout, and if I select all of mechanisms (robot, 500C, and both MTD's) it tells me that the "Number of positoners in a system are exceeded" and if I de-select one then it tells me that the combination ofrobots and positioners  isn't supported.

 Any ideas on how I can get around this? I need to do the system with a 6700, so using 5.15.02 is not an option.

 

Thanks!

I guess it depends on that the current external axis wizard is compiled for 5.15 and not 5.60

Hi,

We are preparing the External Axis Wizard 5.60 to be published on RobotApps. In the mean time you can use RS 5.15.02 with the current Wizard and use the models of the IRB6700 available   at http://new.abb.com/products/robotics/industrial-robots/irb-6700.

The lean ID versions (SW / MH) are only available in RobotStudio 5.60 though but the naked one and the MH3 one is there. The robots are supported by RobotWare 5.15.02.

Kind regards,

Henrik
