I am trying to make a dispensing project that will follow a tool path i have created in solidworks and imported into Robodk. Due to company policies i cannot post any images of my project, but i will have a image of the path. i need to keep the orientation of the tool leaning in towards the middle of the part due to features on the part that will obstruct the tool but i want the XY to remain in the same orientation along entire path.
If I get you right, there are two things to do to fix your problem. In your Curve Follow Project, 1 - Change the Algorithm from "Minimum tool orientation change" to "Tool orientation follows path". Test to see if wanted result is reached. 2 - If not, change "Allow a tool Z rotation of " to zero and Update, if you end up with a big red X, that means that you have a singularity problem and that your robot needs to rotate around Z to follow the given path. You can change the position of the path in space to find a "singularity free" zone. You can also play with both "Optimization parameters" to find a result that involves a minimum of rotation.
Hi, 我有一个diferente problem with follow a tool path. I want to 3D print with a laser. I must not print with the axis Z at 90º with the surface (base). I want to follow the path and change de rotation A and C and make sure that the laser is tilted back. I can't get the tool to rotate in motion.
In the "Machining project" or "Curve follow project" there is a "Path to tool offset" section. With the drop-down menu, select "Fanuc/Motoman". Then you can change rotation around X and Y. If you press the "+" button, you also have access to more orientation modification options.
