Answered R30iA controller Torch-mate problem
Hello all,
Anyone of you has an idea about torch-mate having DCS on the R30iA controller.
Actually I am having an arc-mate 100iC6L and each time when I run torch-mate and then TCP is auto adjusted to the DCS applied.
Does anyone has an idea why is this happening?

Hey ,
Whenever DCS is applied , It may change the tool frame. So during torchmate setup disable DCS for TCP. It will sortout the issue.
Thanks.

Hi Juan,
By the time when you are applying the DCS, then you have to check what is being changed in the DCS. Only after that you will have a clue about it. I am guessing that you are using TCP which is affacted by torch-mate in a tool model being setup in DCS.

Hi,
Laurance has made good statement, adding to which I would suggest that for the reason of safety, whenever something is changed on the DCS, then as per DCS. Like laurance has mentioned, please find what change is there and if it is only related to the length of tool, for instance then you have to define the tools and then the model of the tool. The DCS has the tool exchange capability, and I have experienced this parameter before.

Hi, I am having same problem in one of my robots. Can someone please explain it to me in more details?
How would I be able to define 2 tools that may avoid the problem?
Thank you

Hy all,
The torch-mate is changing the tool frame. The one which you have defined in the torch-match screen setup. The tool frame that you are using is in the setup of DCS. In case if you are not having any tool frame and bothering DCS then you can easily setup a separated tool frame. One of it is being used in the DCS and the other is corrected through torch-mate.

Hi, Thank you so much. However, I am not sure about it in a right way, but when it comes to welding purpose, I am not seeing any reason for having 2 different tools for the same torch. So if i don't want a DCS alarm each time i do a torch-mate, i have to disable the corresponding function in DCS?

Now, if you are not aware of the TCP change which may have an impact on the safety hten do not use it in DCS. In the first FANUC systems, the DCS and Cartesian setup were only used by the TCP but not by the model of robot. However, the latest FANUCs are using the model of robots as well along with the add-on on top of it. A bent torch won't cause any safety concern in most cases. Got it now?
