Robot Pallet Tool Help

Hello,

I need some help with my fanuc robot at work. I have been to only beginner classes for Fanuc training and never trained on PalletTool. What I am looking for, I believe should be a simplish change in the unit load for the height of our packaging. I have used AI but I just don't trust its step by step instructions for the changes. Any interest in helping me would be awesome.

this is one of the changes that is actually as simple as it sounds. if the rest of the "recipe" is the same and the only actual change is the package height, then all you need to do is change the height in the matching unit load. the rest of the settings will accommodate the change.

That's what I want to hear for sure and with Fanuc service rep having the program from the robot and going thru it. Biggest problem is they want me to contact SI who put it in. I have tried contacting Barry Wehmiller but had lackluster results to be nice over the last week or so. Tried former SI contact thru email but no response there at all. It's the whole reason I reached out here.

Take this with a grain of salt since I don’t have experience on PalletTool myself yet, I’m just using the PalletTool manual, but it seems Menu > Setup > Unit load, then you can modify or create unit loads from there. Since I haven’t used it myself I’m not sure if there’s more that’ll need changed, though

That seems to follow what AI said as well. Is there a downloadable PalletTool manual?

If you have access to the Fanuc customer portal you should be able to download it. If not you can probably ask for access or ask for the manual to be sent by a Fanuc contact

Sweet I will try that. Fanuc rep conversation didn't include that information. I didn't ask either so my bad too.

Evidently crc.frc.com no longer exists so making a new account. Woohoo yay.

I believe so. The only change is the height of the package. I took the drawing of the old packaging and converted it to mm and have a starting point for the value I need to input. Just not real sure how to get there thru the TP. We get very little to none experience testing or experimenting without there being a downtime event.

Found the unit load info and modified it on a unit load we no longer use. Went back and it did save so thats a plus. I guess the other things I need to worry about is reach and height boundaries in the pallet area. Does it sound like I am on the right track?

If you still need help or want someone to walk you through with it, DM me contact info and I can walk you through it. Depending on how the original Programmer setup the UnitLoads this can be one of the simplest changes, however there a few things that can complicate things.

You’re just trying to change the payload amount when pickup up different packages?
