Frames in Robotics - Tool frames (UTOOL)

[@АлександрРезер-и4г]

Thanks alot! Such a simply way of explanation. Hope you are doing well. Thanks once again!

[@robertwhite9596]

Love these. I am an instructor at Everett Community College In Everett Wa. I have been teaching this for 5 years now and have not had the time or funding to create these kind of videos that we need for instruction. I will be steering my students toward your videos.

Such a simple and easy to learn explanation, thanks a lot. This video and the User Frame one made my life the hell of a lot easier.

Excellent video, Peter.

[@commodorewolf4781]

after remastering can you touchup the tool center point in order to avoid touching up your individual points?

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Hmmh, not sure. I'd recommend re-doing the UT, but you are probably still off on your points. You can do a "Program Shift", as long as you have a good reference point. Program Shift allows you to shift all or a section of points based on the difference from an old position to the new position. Good luck!

I've recently started learning how to operate Fanuc robots, but I've encountered some difficulties with the basics. Could you kindly share any comprehensive reference materials, from beginner to advanced levels, that could help me improve? I would really appreciate your assistance.

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Hello, sorry, I can't provide any additional materials. They are proprietary and licensed thru FANCU America. Best practice is to take a class with FANUC or your local college that teaches on that technology.

[@kamilkurnaz2748]

Hello, thanks for this video, I have a question that is it possible to direct entry of tool values which comes from roboguide program to any fanuc robot? Does these values work on real robots?

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Yes, you can use the DIRECT ENTRY method for entering tool values. This is actually preferred, if you have a well designed EOAT.

Would it be possible to see how to set tool frame by three point method?

[@RailanSantos]

Is simple. Mark thre points in 90º defased. But in this method, you don't calculate the euler's angle.

Peter thanks for your videos, are very appreciated. Could you make a video teaching how to set TCP of a welding torch? There are no videos explaining that on youtube. Best regards.

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Hector, basically, it's teaching a 6-point tool frame (UTOOL). In addition to the TCP, you are teaching alignment of the physical torch to the desired X, Y, & Z planes. We'll keep this in mind for our next set of videos. Thank you! Peter

Hi ! Can i use Wolrd coordinate to Jog TCP of robot linear follow X, Y, Z ? Now, My robot in world coordinate can not follow X, Y and Z. Please help me. Thanks you !

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Hmmh, not sure what you have going on. In WORLD jog mode, the robot should follow the default world frame X, Y, & Z axis when pressing any of the top three sets of jog buttons. Check that you are not in TOOL, JOINT, USER, or JOG frame jog mode. If your robot still does not jog properly in WORLD axis mode, you may have lost mastering, or the robot was not mastered correctly. Unless you lost power and had no batteries, this is unlikely and takes some effort to correct.

[@rainbg3959]

+Robotics & Automation - AMST Hi ! thanks you for your help ! last time , my robot have error 062 BAZ, i changed battery and mastering follow manual. But, i can not jog all axis position to 0, and j2/j3 = ? to OK. can you tell me about it ! thanks you.

[@PSDettmerMATC]

Well, if your robot does not jog parallel and perpendicular to its WORLD coordinate axes, the mastering you performed is bad. If you have the procedures, follow the ZERO Position Mastering procedure. Align all axes with their witness marks, Master and Calibrate the axes. If it is done correctly, the axes should move in alignment with the WORLD coordinates.

[@rainbg3959]

+Robotics & Automation - AMST Yes, but i can not move all axis to 0 position. i used ZERO position method in master/ cal. i moved robot to witness marks. axis position alway 0. i tryed more...i think set in rate J2/J3 ?

[@PSDettmerMATC]

You may have to clear some errors and possibly change some system variables, in order to move all axes to the ZERO position. If you do a ZERO POS Master, without all 6 axis at the alignment marks, your WORLD frame will be off, and you can't jog along the original X, Y, Z axis.

[@kentasxxxx]

Thank You very much !!

I wish Peter would show the same instructional videos on that beautiful orange robot in the background! I like Fanuc robots but Roboguide is such a bad piece of software compared to ABB's Robotstudio. I like how I can easily program an ABB robot in Notepad and don't need software expensive like Roboguide to compile the code before it can go on the robot. I also wish Fanuc would drop the simulated teach pendant in Roboguide. It is annoying to program the robot offline when I can only see a handful of code at a time. Fanuc robots are great on the hardware side but suffer on the software side.

[@zver_custom]

absolutely!

[@RailanSantos]

Exactly! I'm worked whit abb to, and, the fanuc and abb are great robots, but, when the question is software, the abb wins whit large vantage.
