Change rail robot stop location

Robot Programming
1

Hi everybody

There is a rail robot in my layout, when it picks a unit, it has to travel to a specific location on the rail. I’d like to change that stop location because the robot arm hits itself when it folds to grip the unit.

Please share insight if you know how to fix it, thanks

Hi,

you can use the Pick- and PlacePositionOffset property in the TransportLinks. You can read more about it in the Robot Transport Controller Manual page 23-24

Hi Tilma

Thanks for the reply, I changed the value as you told me, but the robot still stop at the same location. Is that because the robot is controlled by robot programming?

Sorry, I thought you were using a Robot Transport Controller.

You could directly change the value in your statement. E1 is your external axis

Yeah, I also tried change this value, but it turned out that the robot couldn’t reach the point. My drill is using Record/Execute Routine feature then changing this E1 value. I Think I should take your first method before Record/Execute Routine feature, is it correct?

Yes that would be the easiest way
