Hello,
 

Can anyone supply me a Sat/Library file from the working area of a 6640_185_280 robot for using in Robotstudio?? I want to connect it to Axis 1.

 

Why isn't this standard showed when you import a robot?

 

Greetings,

    Hi,

    Here is an addin for RS 5.11 that adds a command "Show working area" to the context menu for robots:
    webwiz/357/WorkingArea.zip

    Let me know what you think! This will be a standard feature in RS 5.12.

    (Note: the addin it doesn't work correctly for picker and parallelogram robots.)

    regards,
    Johannes

    Hello,

    I imported the addIn, Add it to the station, but I can not see the working Area!

     

    Can you help me a bit further? So I can see the working Area?

    1. Check the Add-Ins tab to make sure the addin is loaded correctly

    2. Right-click the robot in the Layout browser and select "Show working area"

    Hello Johannes,
     

    In your screenshot the AddIn is in General, in my app. it is in VSTA Station Add-Ins. I can not get it in General.

    Hmm... where did you put the DLL?
    It should be in <program files>ABB Industrial ITRobotics ITRobotStudio 5.11inAddins

    Yep, the addIn was at the wrong place, after startup the program it worked fine.

    But........

     


    If you look to the screenshot you can see the robot is out the working area! How is this possible?

    If this works ok, I can not wait till ABB releases 5.12!!

    The working area is modified according to the TCP of the active tool.
    In this case axis 5 is adjusted to give the furthest reach, so the "inner" boundary isn't entirely relevant as can be seen in your screenshot..

    If you set the active tool to tool0 you will see the "default" working area.

    regards,
