The best program is a combination between both large and fine movements.Ī half second on a one minute cycle time doesn't sound like much but that's an extra 4 cycles per 8 hour shift which adds up over the course of a year.This manual and parts thereof must not be reproduced or copied without ABB''s written permission, and contents thereof must not be imparted to a third party nor be used for any unauthorized purpose. You can write the entire program using only fine movements, but it doesn't optimize the fastest cycle time that can be achieved by the robot to complete its task. Large movements typically move multiple joints at the same time and depending on the program can even round corners between movement points to make the motion more fluid, and save a few milliseconds. They are point to point one direction at a time to ensure the head is at the exact position it should be. Have worked with some Fanucs more recently, not much and my colleague is 10 times better at it than me, but this is how he explained it.įine movements are for accuracy, and typically move a single joint at a time. I worked with an abb robot like 10 years ago. Limit the use of engineering jokes.Ĭall for Engineers: Tell us about your job!
