New postprocessor for KUKA controllers

#1
Hello,

I wanted to know if it was possible to add a post-processor? 
The post-processor is for a KUKA robot and the file extension is in PRIpost.

I've never seen this format of robot program for a KUKA robot controller. It looks like an XML schema, comparable to the one used for Staubli CS robot controllers.

How did you generate it these programs? Do you have a programming manual?

Hi Albert,

This is a post from the Powermill software.
The programs are generated in .src for a KRC 4 controller
Attached is an example of a generated program

The last program file you shared is completely different compared to the first program samples. The last program file samples you provided are standard typical KUKA SRC files. You can generate similar programs using any of the KUKA post processor.

When you use a KUKA robot in RoboDK you'll automatically generate files using the KUKA KRC2 post processor (default post processor used with KUKA robots), which is compatible with most KUKA controllers (including from KRC2 to KRC5 KUKA controllers).

The robotic cell that I have: needs a .txt file to have the list of programs to launch, in addition it needs a main program that calls the different programs to machine
You in robodk, you only output 1 program while I would need at least 4
in the post that I put to you, you can't copy the lines of code and transfer them to python?

KUKA controllers support single SRC files like the ones you can generate with RoboDK by detault. When programs are very long, it is common to split one large SRC file into multiple smaller SRC files. You can adjust the tolerance here:
  1. Select Tools-Options
  2. Select the Program tab
  3. Check the option Maximum number or lines per program (you can also set the limit)
The files you shared may be a custom integration for your machine.
