Hi everyone,
I’m working with a KUKA KR 270 R2700 Ultra connected to RoboDK through C3 Bridge.
When I use the “Run on Robot” feature to send Cartesian moves (XYZABC), the positions received on the KUKA side are completely off — both position and orientation seem to be transformed incorrectly.
However, when I send joint targets, everything works as expected. The motion on the real robot matches the RoboDK simulation perfectly.
Here’s what I’ve checked so far:
- Tool and base frames are defined and matched between RoboDK and the KUKA controller.
- The same program runs fine when exported offline (.src/.dat) and executed directly on the robot.
- The problem only happens during online execution through C3 Bridge.
I’ve got screenshots showing:
- The RoboDK target (e.g. Target_12)
- The generated .dat file
- The actual robot setup
- The pendant showing the received E6POS values
Has anyone experienced similar behavior with C3 Bridge or Cartesian targets through RoboDK?
Is there a specific configuration step or driver setting I might be missing (e.g., base/tool sync or reference frame option)?
Any help or ideas would be really appreciated!
