Hello, I'm very new to RoboDK and I'm trying to use it to simulate several pick and place layouts for machine tending applications.
In one of the layouts, the robot, after placing a finished part and picking up a blank part for the next process, would take the long way around (clockwise) as opposed to the much shorter path (anticlockwise) to place the blank in the machine as seen in the attached video.
Initially, the robot would go the long way around to take a new part after placing a finished one. I got around this by adding circular motion to the pick infeed programs but then arrived at the current problem. I suppose I could possibly get around the problem the same way I did before, but surely there's a better way?
I apologize beforehand if this issue has been brought up before or discussed in a tutorial video, but I wasn't really able to find a thread and/or video regarding this problem. Any help or referral to a relevant thread/video would be much appreciated. Thank you!
