Good morning,
I have another question for you, maybe someone has a solution.
I have a transfer table, which I have attached to a crane to move it.
Everything works with the moving tool.
When the crane transports a product, everything works fine.
I would now like to try to move the transfer table in the simulation without the crane having to lift/pick up anything.
Attached a simplified form the platform incl. crane should move to the white block and stop without crane movement
The process is as follows: my transfer table is at the top.
The white block is my delivery station.
As soon as a part has been delivered to the delivery station, my platform should move linearly along the rail to this station.
But without trolley or hoist movement.
okay, another possibility would be to add a small agv to the stage, right? and let it move. The crane doesnât have to have any function, itâs just that the layout looks like it does in reality and I wanted to control the stage with it.
Iâm not sure to understand your question, but to use the Translational Axis, you can use the âAxis Signalâ mode and in your process, use a SendSignal to activate it. Itâs a Real Signal, so you can write the distance you want it to move like : â2000.0â (you need the â.0â for it to recognise the value as a real value.)
Thank you very much for your help, unfortunately I donât have tranlational axis component yet. Hope we will get an update soon.
I have tried it with the agv method and for my use case it is enough thanks to all the only problem is that the trolley retracts with the following message: Crane.vcax (3.8 MB)
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the component Translational Axis was in the file âRobot Workpiece Positionerâ in the previous versions of the eCat.
The messages you get are due to the fact that the Crane is programmed to work with a TransportController. If you want to use just the static geometry, you could either delete the non-necessary behaviours in the Modelling tab, if you have access to it, or you could export the geometry and import it again. In this case it wouldnât have any properties or behaviours.
