What am I doing wrong? Conveyor tracking.

RobotStudio
1

Hello everyone!

I am a new RS user and I am trying to establish a conveyor tracking system. I watched an outdated tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkiTUwQFixo and followed every single step exactly like shown in the tutorial, but when I start my simulation the conveyor system fails to connect my path to an object. My robot does not move and objects just move along.

When I am not running the simulation and I move my conveyor with joint jog function path connects perfectly.

When I make Robot System form my layout should I check any other option beside 606-1 Conveyor Tracking? And do I have to apply/change/add any other settings that are new or different in this version(6.00.01) of RS.

I personally think that the problem is with WaitWOBj function since object is not being recognised. And therefore no further actions are being made by the robot.

I have looked at several forum threads but I have not found any solutions for my problem. I even went through manual for conveyor tracking but it seams like I did every thing right.

I would be very grateful for any tips/advices/solutions to this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Once I added your ‘Path_10’ as the entry point it ran fine for me, other than axis 4 going out of range…

Well thank you!

It works.

But I did set up my entry point previously. Right click on a path then → Set as simulation entry point. I even did it like you showed.

Anyway now it works so I am not going to complain.

Hi Neliy03,

I also have the same problem. I done each step to create conveyor and conveyor tracking as per the tutorial video. I also added the Path_10 as the entry point, but the problem continues. My conveyor runs fine, but the robot not moving in the path. I hope you can help me.

Thanks, Ramkumar R
