execute pre-programmed joint motion

Hi everyone! I'm a PhD student from Italy (Politecnico di Milano).
In our lab we have recently installed an IRB140 robot + IRC 5 controller.

I was trying to figure out if it was possible to move the robot with a pre-calculated JOINT motion. I would like to steer the robot with a series of joint variables I've stored in a plain text file (calculated with Matlab with a certain frequency, e.g. 1 kHz) and to save the resulting motion (in terms of joint variables) in a new file.

Thanks for attention!

  • Hi,

    I know this is an old post but I was wandering if you managed to get anywhere with this as I am trying to do the same thing. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Joe.
