I am working on my 2 robots. Arcmate 125 having RJ2iB controller and 320iW having RJ2 controller. The first FANUC is mounted on an external axis which is allowing it to move among 2 rotatable welding scenarios, so there is a total of 3 axis.
I am asked to set up a brand new welding station but due to funds limitation, i am not able to do so. I got an idea to have another welding robot having RJ3 controller or even a modern one for building my own positioner.
The company for which i work is specializing in metal constructions, therefore making such a positioner is not a big deal. However, i am not good in programming and electrical works. I am having limited knowledge of the machine's software and controllers.
I have checked the Arcmate and its controller as well and got an idea that it has an expandable architecture and making an additional axis for it is possible....I have tried to my best to find information on internet but i could not find anything. I have some questions.
- How can i add an external axis?
- What is best way for connection of cables in the cabinet of controller.
- What is way to setup of the software of controller.
- Controller of each software is good for adding up external axis or software must be updated?
I need help....thank you
