Smooth motion?

Hi,

I’m sending positions over a socket to a IRB140 which is working great. I’m sending the x/y/z positions and then using MoveL to move the robot to the desired position.

Though I was wondering if there is a way to make the robot move a bit more smooth but in such a way that it sill follows the points I’m giving it?

In this video I’m trying to draw a smooth sin wave (starting around 0:12): rotation_and_sinus | diederickh | Flickr and you can see how it draws the wave stepwise.

Are you using ‘zfine’ for your zones?

Hi Neily03,

Yes I’m using fine indeed. When I use e.g. z0 it’s not creating the path I want it to create.

z5 or z10 deviate too much too?

That’s why your path is not smooth, the robot will momenterily stop when using a fine zone, the only way around it to use a larger zone.

Hi Neily,

Thanks. I guess in my situation there is no other way around it but I’ll give it a try with a zone like z0. Maybe the result will be good enough.
