Set different acceleration for transitions in Robot plugin

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:27:05 GMT

I'm using PMill 2021 with the latest robot plugin to program a Kuka KR60 and a KR210 that both use KRC2.

I would like the toolpaths that I make to operate at 100% velocity and acceleration. However, when I make transition programs to/from and between toolpaths I do not want the joint moves in these transitions to run at 100% acceleration. Is the best way around this to just make transitions using Linear moves which are governed by the toolpath feed rates? This is not always ideal for some situations. It would be nice if I could set the acceleration for transition joint moves independently from the toolpaths. Is there a way to do this that I'm missing?

Thanks

John,

Did you talk with Jim at DSI about this? He would be your guy since he likely built the current post you are using.

Thanks. Yeah, the forum has just become kind of a reflex for me.
