:worried: One of our robots was installed incorrectly. As a result, when the  
timing marks are checked they are off. The person who installed the unit is  
no longer with the company. What to do? Just re-align, but how to maintain  
accuracy when importing programs from RobotStudio? Wobj?

In Robot studio you are able to correct all targets… “copy and paste” by adapting the Wobj to the real robot program. “New wobj” and so on..

But in the s4c+ program “Program Maker” there are wizards that will help you to correct any errors if you’re program is a little bit off in a Wobj or TCP. Here is also a Mirror wizard if you are doing for exampel a program on one side of a car-body and will move it to the other side.

but it is a hard work to get the perfect world i Robot Studio to adapt to the real world sometimes…and vice versa.

I always feel that the robot need to be moved into position some millimiters to compensate re-orientations.

But of course Abs-accuracy will help you on the way… to a perfect robot and program.
