Hello Everyone,
First time posting here, excited to be part of the community! Our university just acquired 2 Kuka robots and are eager to use them. We have downloaded Kuka|PRC and have followed a few tutorials and have created several simulations. We have even upload a successful simulation to the robot, the simulation we uploaded was very simple and just moved the robot around with the flange as the TCP. The current simulation we are trying to upload is a wire foam cutter simulation but when we try to upload it two issues are occurring. First, is that we cannot select the code from the USB that we insert into the controller, we can open it and copy and paste it into a code made on the regular programs folder, then we have to run the simulation from there (this even occurred the first time we uploaded a simulation). Second, now that we have a tool mounted and a simulation running in the computer when we upload the code we still have to copy and paste into a regular program made in the programs folder, and now we can not even run the simulation because we are getting software limits on axis 5 although there should be nothing that causes that. We suspect that it might be that we have only added a tool geometry in PRC but not actually made a TCP on the robot itself, because that is the only difference we can see.
So to summarize, we would really appreciate some guidance on how to select and run a program from the USB without copying and pasting it into another program and how can we resolve the software limit to axis 5 when there is no reason that it should be happening. If need be I can upload our script and a picture of the robot setup.
Thank you very much,
Jorge
