Support / Horizontal turn table
July 03, 2018, 10:42:34 AM
Hello everyone,

I have been trying to simulate a horizontal turn table (or rotating mandrel) from the turn table example in kuka|prc.
I can easily change the C component of the turn table block to 90 which rotates the robot model 90° to simulate a horizontal turn table configuration, but then in the viewport I have a horizontal robot which makes it hard to navigate around. At that point the simulation works fine with the turntable rotating the work piece (Z is still the turntable rotating axis).

I tried to compensate by adding a -90 to the base C component which effectively brought back the robot to be vertical and the turntable horizontal (Y axis rotating axis).
However I have issues with the turntable simulation with the robot turning around the piece and not the turntable rotating (I did rotate the work piece mesh and the cylinder surface to be horizontal and aligned to the turntable).

I have played quite a lot with orientations to try to solve the issue but I cannot seem to make it work for a horizontal turntable.

Has anyone tried to set up a similar turntable simulation ?

Thanks in advance !
