Posted 5 Jul 2023 Hello all, is any one aware of any good free training, guides, etc, I am using the RT Visual Box and I like it a lot, but need a bit more in depth info and manual is ok, but it does not explain things in great details more like a general view. Many thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Jul 2023 What do you need to know ? There is a Webcast about RT visualbox. If you want to go deeper you can use RT Toolbox which has Visualbox programming inside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 5 Jul 2023 thanks Gambit, i found youtube videos. i found very limited that you cannot put coordinates? how can I say move 100mm straight? also annoying you have to define as a position initial state of simulation, otherwise i get the possitional error.

Posted 6 Jul 2023 (edited) RT Visualbox is limited and intened for operators, You could go to the position list and just copy the original position and change the X or Y with a 100 mm or you use panel and use the inching method to jog 100mm. This is RT toolbox Edited 6 Jul 2023 by Gambit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 6 Jul 2023 (edited) Programmatically speaking, it's pretty simple. Let's say you trained a position p1 and you want to position the tip 100 mm in the negative direction by Y axis with linear interpolation. Here's how it would look in Melfa Basic V: Mov p1 '(Joint interpolation move to p1) ptemp=p1 '(ptemp gets the values of p1) ptemp.y=ptemp.y-100 '(math for 100mm offset in negative direction) Mvs ptemp '(moves with linear interpolation to position ptemp) You can use the operation panel in RT ToolBox3 and jog the robot by using the direct execution window and execute these lines one by one.
