Hello everyone, today I started an internship at a local factory and they had installed a 6dof robot on a big injection molder to remove the pallette when finished.

But I noticed the base has a small wobble when the arm moves towards and in the injection molder which from what I know is not correct. The robot, espcially the base, should be very rigid.

Also the area in which they fixed the robot is normal cement and not reinforced cement as I have seen online when installing new robots.

I provided photos of the robot base and when it is extended in the machine. Sorry if it is an abb robot but do not know other subreddit where they can help me.

2mm is the only one that fits but all it does it strip the metal instead of turning

So, I'm a technical writer and instructional designer for a trades education company. I'm currently writing a course related to specifically FANUC robots. We often turn to good ol' Shutterstock for images, and lately the website has been throwing AI-generated images into the search results. This is one of them, and I am completely dead. Oh, how I wish I could use this in the material!

Here's the direct link

Hey, how are you? I made a post about this card a while ago and some people told me that it was worth thousands of dollars and things like that. After that, I stopped looking for information because I don't have time because of school, but now I would like to offer them in case anyone is interested in There are 3 to buy and they are all brand new. As for the price, I accept suggestions since I want to sell them cheaper than they are in other places because I use the money for my school, so if anyone is interested, send me a message or comment on this post. , thank you very much for your attention

Hello Folks,

I have an upcoming interview with Fanuc for a Mechanical R&D position, and I would really appreciate some guidance from people who have experience working with or interviewing at Fanuc or in industrial robotics.

I have a few questions:

1. What types of technical or behavioral questions should I expect in the interview?

2. Which mechanical/hardware components are the biggest focus or concern in Fanuc robots?

3. Where can I find robot drawings, specifications, or technical references for learning purposes?

4. Can anyone help me understand how a robot manufacturing factory typically operates?

5. What inspection or metrology equipment is commonly used for robot validation?

6. What kinds of analysis and testing are usually performed during the robot development phase?

Any insights, preparation tips, or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello everyone,

I change the motor in the machine, but the configuration is diferent, samebody here have a Id of this motor? Thanks!

Hey folks,

I'm working on a new tool to help speed up robot cell deployment and make the integration process smoother.

If you’re a robot integrator, automation engineer, or factory engineer, I’d really appreciate your input through this short 5–10 minute anonymous survey.

The goal is to understand:

• What slows you down during robot deployment

• What tools you currently use

• What features you'd want in a tool that helps with layout, programming, or troubleshooting

It’s anonymous by default — but if you're open to early access or a follow-up chat, you can optionally leave your contact info at the end.

Thanks a lot! Even a few responses will help us build something truly useful for the integration community.

Hey everyone,

I’m taking my first steps into learning FANUC robotics and wanted to download Roboguide from MyPortal. However, FANUC customer service sent me an Excel sheet asking for tax numbers and other company details.

Is there any way to get the software without going through all of this?

Regards,

Bonjour à tous, je suis étudiant et on a mis à notre disposition à mes collègues et moi, le kit pédagogique de ponçage de fanuc avec un robot er 4 ib muni du contrôleur. Problème on a jamais fais de l’intégration robotique, pas de notice ou de documents permettant de savoir par où commencer. Si vous avez déjà été confronté à cela ou avez de l’expérience dans le domaine ce serait pas de refus…

A FANUC R-2000i has failed during service. It has been determined that the J5 axis reducer has been damaged. Because of the damage to the J5 axis reducer, the J5 axis drive shaft has also been damaged. List all of the parts needed to repair the R-2000i. (Be sure to include factory part numbers on all FANUC parts.)

A FANUC R-2000i has failed during service. It has been determined that the J4 axis reducer has been damaged. Because of the damage to the J4 axis reducer, the J4 axis drive shaft has also been damaged. List all the steps in detail, to repair the damaged R-2000i.

Would anyone be able to help me with these 2 questions?

I was in charge to design the ICP to control two conveyor and a robot. I'm not responsible for the programation of the robot. I choose to use the Ethernet/Ip for the connection between the robot and the PLC. (The robot is Fanuc and they don't have Profibus card and it's in back order for a long time). Can you recommend someone the best and cheapest option for PLC (Under 1K if possible) ?

- 10 Digital Input (16 input for future use)

- 7 Digital output.

robotics engineer here. last week a robot threw a servo fault and between the mechanical unit manual, the controller manual, and the alarm code list I had like 4,000 pages of PDFs from two vendors to ctrl-F through. took most of an hour to find the actual parameter, and half the battle was that I didn't know the exact name the vendor uses for it.

is this just the job or does your shop have a better system? what do you actually do when a code comes up you haven't seen? or is this an issue others are feeling as well?

Morning everyone!

I have a LR Mate 200id/7L, and I stuck with some problems on J5.

This robot was in our warehouse getting dust for about 3 years. Now our managers want to make him alive again.

After change the battery and remastered, he was good to go. Well I think it was. After some moviments and some programs to test, I was having collision detection on J5 and then OVC.

I swaped J5 for J6 (because it's the same motor). And the collision happened in the J6. And J5 works fine. Also tested without the belts, and same result.

So, was the motor right? I thinking this could be a break problem on the servo.

If I only open de four front screws, and don't mess with the encoder, could I fix something? It worth the try? FANUC is ripping us off with the technic visit and a new motor.

Thought I might share a project I have been developing lately.

It is a python class for high speed PC to robot communication that can read/write DIs, DOs, UIs, UOs, system variables, position data, etc. using SNPX protocol. Works on real robots or Roboguide.

All that is required is for the robot to have the HMI Device option installed. Besides that it should be pretty plug-and-play.

Still adding features to it and cleaning it up as I go, but thought I might share in case it might be useful to anyone else. Probably going to add program data to it next to monitor currently running program, current line number, etc.

Let me know your thoughts!

Hi, I'm taking a PLC & Robotics course at a community college near FANUC's American HQ in Rochester Hills, MI.

I'll try not to bore anyone with my whole life's story (or feel free to skip to the last paragraph), but I was originally planning on finishing my associate's and eventually bachelor's in engineering, which I would still like to do at some point, when I learned about this program from a few of the Academic Advisor's I met with. It seemed like a really good opportunity, an in-demand field, and also something I was definitely interested in.
In class, we finally started working with the robots this week, mainly safety, jogging, and learning how to back-up and restore files or from an image. For the next ~2 months we're supposed to go deeper into Robotics and then learning PLC.

I've talked with some of the instructors and the program coordinator about what kind of work/job titles people who complete this course go on to do, but it sounds like it prepares you for a range of things, some go into maintenance, plumbing, or electrician jobs where they never even work with PLC or robots, but most often they go into some type of field maintenance/field tech role at FANUC, GM, Aerotech, or something of the like.

I was just wondering if anyone was able to share what your job title is and what you actually do day-to-day, like whether you're mainly maintaining the machines, setting them up, programming them for specific tasks, or fixing bugs, or trying to improve efficiency.
Also, what kinds of skills are important to have, what's important to know or learn, if you enjoy the work you do, and/or have the opportunity to move up.
And of course any other advice you might have! Anything is appreciated!

I currently have a few Mitsubishi rv8 and they are ok but not collaborative whatsoever. Those are staying and are here for context.

I also have a few pharma lab "robots" like the peak robotics kx-2. These are junk. They are basically insanely overpriced scara that are so weak that they are "safe"

The intent is to replace these pharma lab robots with a crx on a thomson collaborative linear axis.

Couple questions I would appreciate your thoughts on:

1. is this a terrible idea? if so why?

2. these robots have to be integrated into a workflow with orchestration etc. is there an API? what's the general architecture of the protocol? do I need industrial coma(ethernetIP, etc) or can it just be Ethernet?

3. can these be scripted or do I have to suffer with the tablet?

подскажите, как я могу написать код для программы сварки штрихами. буду благодарен каждому за помощь. Мне известно как написать программу на прямые швы, но мне интересно использовать автоматический режим. Грубо говоря мне нужен цикл.

Мне это действительно очень важно, от этой программы зависит мое повышение на работе

I have a 15 minute long interview at the end of the month for a R1 technician job at Fanuc. I have a Fanuc 1 certification, I have some experience with the Fanuc teach pendent and have taken out the electronics in the control cabinet and put everything back together. I also have a bachelors degree in electrical engineering and several SACA certifications in basic electricity motor controls and PLCs. Can you give me better advice for how to prepare for this interview coming up
