Rounding value is not correctly populated in UR script file-akhil555-03-06-2023

Hello,

Problem:

I am using the UR10 robot with a curve following project and trying to get rid of the stop and go between waypoints by using rounding. When I set a rounding instruction in the program and "Generate robot program", the blend radius value shows up in the script file but is not populated as an argument in the movep command. I am currently using the "Universal Robots MoveP" post processor.

How do I get the blend radius to be taken as an argument by movep when I "Generate robot program"?I know the blending works because I uploaded the script onto the UR pendant and manually added the blend to each movep command in the script, which produces the desired behavior from the real robot.

Things I have tried:

  1. Updating robodk
  2. Using different post processors, such as "Universal Robots", "Universal Robots URP", and the one linkedhere. I ended up using the "Universal Robots MoveP" since that's what I think I need to properly add in the blend radius.
  3. Modifying the UR post processor according to this commenthereand thewiki
  4. I believe there is a minimum distance between two points for the post processor to output a blend radius in the script file, not sure exactly what it is for UR. I think I have sufficient distance between my points (atleast 30mm). I've tried changing the rounding values in robodk from 1mm to 5mm but this still does not populate the blend radius argument in the movep command in the script file.

Area of code with problem. As you can see the correct blend_radius_m variable is initialized per my program but it is not populated in the movep arguments (underlined in red)




RE: Rounding value is not correctly populated in UR script file-Albert-03-07-2023

Your movements are very small (smaller than 5 mm) and the post processor has an automatic filter to prevent using a blend radius larger than the movement. Old UR controllers need this check to prevent strange error messages.

You can disable this check by setting this variable in the post processor:
Code:
BLENDING_CHECK = False



RE: Rounding value is not correctly populated in UR script file-akhil555-03-07-2023

Hello Albert,

Thank you for your reply. I added "Blending_Check = False" to the "Universal Robots MoveP" post processor but that did not change anything unfortunately. I have copied the post processor code here.

同时,我don't think any of the movements are less than 5mm? Please take a look at the image below with the UR10 robot and the curve it's supposed to be following. The distance between every point is greater than 5mm (the OD of the robot's J6 is 90mm for reference). Am I missing something here? Thank you!

Hello,

Any update on my comment above? Thanks!

Can you attach your station, or the temporary python file generated in %TEMP%?
