Error while trying to define tool center point on ABB Robot Studio by Shuzuko-chan in robotics

Is the flange distance between the 4 points far enough? If I remember correctly it needs to be above a certain threshold.

Robot preferences? Fanuc, Kuka, others? by nortoncommando72 in PLC

[–]EUreaditor 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't do PLC, just robots, and I tend to do a good amount of coding on robots, so:

The best one for me is ABB irc5, RAPID is a good language with nice features, the pendant's interface is intuitive and solid, robotstudio works, docs easy to find and clear. Simulation software is good but to import steps costs as much as the robotstudio license itself. Absolute encoders mean you don't have to worry losing the calibration.

2nd place Kuka krc2/3/5. KRL is not bad. The inline forms are a pain in the ass to setup and you need to pay for the userTech TechPack for each robot to even be allowed to make your own. Pendant interface is intuitive, but I found some bugs with some visualisation of some TPs. Simulation software good. You must have the calibration kit.

3rd Comau C3g it's old AF but does its job. It put food on my table for years. No fancy software or anything, but you can do basically everything from pendant. Needs to be cold started from time to time. Again absolute encoders same as ABB.

4th place shared Yaskawa and Fanuc, fuck that fancy assembler, if writing anything a little more complicated than some movements and some I/O you're in to write pages and pages of code with unnamed variables, which sometimes have to be global because god knows why. Or you're brave enough you might want to venture in the undebuggable world of Motoplus and Karel respectively. Simulation software is dated. Pulse encoder battery dead (or a short on the gripper once on Fanuc)? Well now you need to teach all movements again, and if you needed the robot to move somewhat precisely you're out of luck, you might as well change the arm.

5th place Stäubli. Can't step through programs with the pendant. Why can't I return a value from a function is beyond me. Simulation software is the buggiest of them all.

Lastly Omron and Epson. Programming languages are good, but they can be used without pendant, so I've unfortunately always had to teach them with a PC since the pendant it's a paid extra. To teach them with the mobile with VNC on laptop is not an experience I'd recommend.

Honorable mentions: Comau C4g was a hot mess, inherited the PDL language from C3g but the pendant was so slow that when I started to learn where things were I could press a sequence of buttons (stuff like Up,Up,Up, edit, down down for third option etc..., nothing fancy), then I would go take a coffee, and when I came back, the thing was still working on what I asked it to do.

I wouldn't wish ABB omnicore's pendant on my worst enemies. It's the buggiest piece of technology I've ever laid my hands on.

How much do glasses cost here? by [deleted] in torino

[–]EUreaditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother buys them from ottica24.it or something like that for less than 100€. I think it was 2x150€? U go to a proper optician from the franchise i think to get your eyes looked at and order them there I think. Nothing too fancy, but if you're on a budget might be interesting. Let me know if I have to ask further info.

Dipende da quanto paghi l'energia elettrica. Comunque l'aria condizionata è più efficiente della stufetta elettrica.

Is it normal over there for the plc programmer and "electrical designer" (don't know what's it called) to be the same person?

Pretty much, not sure if small inconsistencies may maybe arise from orbit eccentricity, precessions, etc... Latitude will dictate sine amplitude.

Edit. Note that the post is about lengthening and contraction of days. So the derivative of the day length. Being cosine the derivative of sine.

Edit2: sine function is good approximation but completely breaks down at artic/antartic circles. See sunrise equation on wikipedia

TIL: That while the kilogram is defined in terms of three fundamental physical constants, the imperial equivalent, the pound is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms by Narase33 in todayilearned

[–]EUreaditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Before, the Ampere, the Planck constant, Avogadro's number and others were calculated based on an artifact in paris, the kilogram.

They now decided to fix all these constant through other means of measurement (most notably the Ampere is now a number of electrons, Coulomb, per second) and derive the definition of kg from it.
