Programming External Axis
Options
Hello,
We are trying to "wrap" weld around a cylinder, we would like to keep the robot still while the external axis rotates.
We are struggling to program this on the pendant. We teach the positions using only rotation of the external axis, however using ArcL(Start) we find that the robot is still trying to move through the job.
ArcMoveJ will not let us input weld data into the program.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks,
James

U can use ArcC for this (similar to MoveC)To get a correct welding speed it is best to program in a workobject that is connected to your external axis (coordinated motion).This way the robot calculates the speed of the external axis depending on your welding speed.RobWelding

activate your axis with the ACT UNIT command.Select your Turntable in the either the jog window or setting windowyou should now be able to turn the part, and keep the robot arm still. you should be able to get away with using just a acrL command. just dont move the arm, only spin the turn table.hope that is what you meant0
