The images demonstrate the two different arm modes that the SCARA operates in. The commands to control how the SCARA reacts to different arm configurations are shown below: LEFT: For moves following this command, LEFT arm mode takes priority. RIGH: For moves following...
Code Example: Palletizing with Recovery

Code Example: Palletizing with Recovery

Code Examples, Tutorials

The first palletizing example works fine under applications that don't require cycle recovery upon E-stop or power down. The following example uses a "global variable" to maintain the variable count controlling the pallet position increment. Global variables do not...
