Robot Machining (5x)
To make the transition between your robot machining jobs safer you can make the robot move to an approach position after each machining operation.
Follow these steps to create a new program called GoHome and move to this location after ach machining job is completed:
1.Create a new program by selecting Program➔Add Program or select the corresponding button in the toolbar.
2.Rename the program by pressing F2 to something like GoHome.
3.Select the program you just created.
4.Move the robot to a safe location and select Program➔Move Joint Instruction or select the corresponding button in the toolbar. This operation should create a new target on that location and add a move joints instruction to that target if the program was previously selected.
5.You can then make the robot move to this home target between each machining operation by right clicking the first program call instruction and selecting Add Instruction➔Program call instruction.
6.Enter the name of the program to go to (GoHome) and select OK.
7.You can then copy/paste this instruction within your program to quickly obtain the final result.
8.Right click the main program and select Display path to see the robot toolpath as a yellow line. This will help you visualize if the position of your approach target is suitable for your project.
