Hello,

I need help to configure a workobject moved by an external axis (M7DM1).

I have an irc5 running v5.7.1030. I have a robot installed on a carrier, which is moved by an external axis (M30) controller by the robot.

The base frame is defined as being moved by M7DM1, and I need to define a workobject on the carrier (that is moved along with the base frame), but cannot use the workobject which has robhold=FALSE, ufprog=FALSE and ufmec=M7DM1.

When I try to use the wobj, it says that the mechanical unit in active workobject cannot be found. But I can select that same mechanical unit and jog it.

Can anyone help me here?

Michel

Michel,

I think you need to re-post this message in the Forum for RobotStudio 5.x ( For IRC5 ).
