Greetings,
I'm working on a reach study and path simulation with 2 Fanuc R2000iB/165F robots and have noticed that the RoboDK Library model is not accurate.
What's the easiest way to correct this without having to model the robot ourselves?
Are we looking at waiting for a Library update to address this?
Specifically, the counterbalance on the back of J2 is not the right size (see attached visual comparison)
In our Solidworks model of the cell, we have no collision issues, but in RoboDK we have collisions due to the larger counterbalance. We purchased RoboDK so that we wouldn't have to rely on Solidworks for these types of reach studies & path simulations / collision checks, but it's leaving some doubts now.
We've compared the 3D CAD model from Fanuc vs. the RoboDK model and they're definitely not the same for this particular robot model.
It's also possible that the other variations of the R2000i robot arm are not accurate as well, I have not done a detailed check on those, but the RoboDK models look similar to the 165F and don't seem to match pictures of the actual robot arms where the counterbalance is concerned, so I'm thinking they're suffering from the same inaccuracies.
Thanks,
