A As an example, a dome-shaped part requires edge following operations on five contours.

  1. Use the control handle to drag the operation to a different place in the sequence.

  2. Select Calculate to see if the collision is cleared.

Rearranging the sequence of operations will also affect robot motion, including moves to and from home position and moves between operations. Pay attention to these changes and resolve any kinematic issues if they arise.

Reassign operations to different robots

If multiple robots are using use the same application (for example, if they are both equipped with interchangeable deburring tools), reassigning operations to different robots can solve collisions.

  1. Use the control handle to drag the operation to a different robot.

  2. Adjust the sequence of operations for that robot, if needed.

  3. Select Calculate to see if the collision is cleared.

Move start point

In some cases, moving the entry/exit point on one of the paths may solve a collision. This can affect timing so that robots do not collide.
