Possibilities parametric programming
Options
Hi all,
Currently I am looking to buy a second-hand ABB robot for some very light (foam/plastic) milling applications. I am an experienced programmer, but a newbie to robots.
My question is rather simple: is it possible to program parametrically? For example, say that I want to mill a slot. Would it be possible to make program called 'slot', enter the starting position in my PLC/IPC and let the robot mill that slot? Would that be possible with variable Wobj for example?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards, Martijn van Beurden

Sounds completely doable. If you have a RAPID reference manual you may be interested in the RelTool command (you can move relative to the tool). I have done emulated depth passes for wood milling with RelTool. I would recommend finding a RAPID reference guide and browsing through it - I think you'll find you can do exactly what you are imagining..
