Model a turn unit

Academy
#1

hi again , I’m following this tutorial to model a turn unit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50-_mdsYPkw

because I need to rotate a table to 90 ° everytime I product is grasped inside and a second robot will pick up the product when the table 's rotation equal to 180.
Anyway I see inside the behavior’s option the articulation J1 with its rotation limit and the value of the current rotation.
Is there a simple way to connect this J1 real number to a variable, instead of going through a python script. Then inside my simulation I just set this variable J1 to 90°,180° …

thank in advance

  1. Select your component.
  2. In the Component Properties panel, look for J1 property.

Did you find it?

I did find it, and if i change the value (here the value is 1.408318°) the table rotates correctly in modelisation tab.
But I want the table to rotate during the simulation, I try to add this inside the simulation JOB MAP .VALUE=100 but it didn’t work so I assume i have to link this J1 to an reel number.

#4

hello , does someone has any idea? I try every option possible I cannot change this VALUE during the simulation. I’m pretty I just need to link this VALUE to any integer or real number and change this value during simulation but it ain’t work.

please help
best regards

You don’t change the “VALUE” you change the value of the “J1” property.

#6

Hello , of course i don’t change the “value” ,I know this is J1
but how I change this “J1” inside the Job map into the simulation, that is my goal.
so J1 will change (and rotate) during the simulation process

so I assume i need to link a variable to J1 .

Just change J1 and create a new PTP point. But first you need to connect your positioner to your robot via interface.

#8

already tried … when I click on interface I can’t change select the component into the 3D world. Only the robot are available

the blue component is the one that need to rotate which it does when I go into the modelisation tab.
On the left side we have the propriety of the component . I’m so sure there is very simple way to make it rotate during the simulation but can’t find it :frowning: .

#9
  1. Use positioner wizard in Modeling/Wizards on your component.
  2. Connect a robot to your component via Interfaces.
  3. Go to connected robot program editor.
  4. Jog your component and Teach a PTP command in robot.

hi ozan and thank you for your response
is positioner wizard refer to this image ?

EDIT : was a bit unfamiliar with the wizard action but I finally find out.
Thank you ozan !
