Check out the product documentation for the Smartac option 3HAC024845-001

SmarTacT is a tactile sensor used to find the location of inconsistent weld joints and offset the programmed points in a weld program. The main rapid instruction used for this option is Search\_1D.

I know how to do in the real robot flexpendant, i would like to do it with the flexpendant i RS.

my problem is that i RS there is no search routines when i try to make the PROCALL to the search 1d routine.

Is it possible to get the search routines in the RS flexpendant

You must add the SmarTac option to the system also on the VC.

Hi Hardikez,

It seems that the Search\_1D instruction must be added to the “Most Common” list to be used from the FlexPendant. Please follow the instruction on p29 of the SmarTac manual.

Kind regards,

Henrik
