Feature Request: Multiple Joint Jog windows + Save Window Layout in RobotStudio

RobotStudio UpFeed

Hi,

I’m working with larger multimove systems (multiple IRB1300 robots) and have two feature requests that would significantly improve the workflow:

1. Multiple instances of the Joint Jog window

It would be very helpful to be able to open multiple Joint Jog windows at the same time.

Currently, when you select a different robot/mechanism, the existing Joint Jog window simply switches to show the new robot’s values. This makes it difficult to monitor the joint angles of several robots simultaneously while programming and testing coordinated movements.

Being able to have one Joint Jog window open per robot would be a great help when working with multimove systems.

2. Save Window Layout with the station

I would like the ability to save the current window layout together with the RobotStudio station (or project/solution, or whatever it is called these days).

When working with large multimove stations, the window layout can become quite complex (multiple Jog windows, RAPID editors, I/O windows, graphics views, etc.). It takes a lot of time to rearrange everything every time you reopen the station. It would be very convenient if RobotStudio could remember and restore the exact window layout when opening a saved station.

“Thank you for your attention to these matter”!

Hi Skumtomte.

For the first request. When you have a Joint Jog window opened, if you click the “Tear Off”, that new window will not switch to the new robot’s values.

‘Tear off’ and ‘Float’ windows is great options for setting up a workflow with multiple robots in station. Tear off will serve the purpose you are looking for. e.g. joint jog windows can be stacked for all robots on a separate monitor or corner of one screen. Float will basically allow user to position it wherever required, but robot selection behavior will remain the same as when it is docked. Float works great for complex cells when station viewer can be floated on another monitor and that let you work on all other functions without loosing station view, no switching back and forth.
