Hello,
I am new to RoboDK, and I'm trying to set up a 5-axis machining path with collision avoidance using a robot machining project. I have run into a few issues, which I'd appreciate help with:
1) When I import my CAM file (.apt, created with CAMWorks), I get the following error referring to some of the GOTO commands: "invalid cycle parameters". The resulting toolpath does not follow the intended path. Do you know what the issue may be or where I could find documentation on this error?
2) I have loaded the CollisionFreePlanner plug-in and selected "allow automatic collision avoidance" in the CAM tab of the options window. To try and generate a collision free toolpath, I've selected "Avoid Collisions" under optimization parameters in the machining project options. However, when I hit update, the program is extremely slow to check feasibility (5% in 30+ min). I haven't gotten it to work yet. Is there anything I am missing?
3) When I try to create a simple collision-free map (with 10 samples and 5 edges per sample), RoboDK stops responding. Is there a way to improve this?
Thanks in advance for your help!
