Title: Custom tool with two work planes
Post by: OXIDO on November 29, 2024, 10:51:56 AM
Hello,
I am working with a welding tool that has a camera. I need the robot to follow a given path to capture data with the camera and then use the welding plane ref, to start welding on the given paths.

Is there a way where I can assign a set of paths to the camera (Plane 1) and the other paths to the welding (Plane 2)

I have separated the paths and created a custom tool with two planes but I have no idea how to incorporate this in the code. I am doing this manually for now exporting different programs and compiling them externally.
Hope someone can help.

Hello,
Assuming that you are using a KSS robot, there is no tool with two TCPs. However, you can simply calibrate each tool with a separate tool number and then do a tool change with the Tool Change component.
That should do the trick!
Best,
