2.7 Synchronize with molding machine using recorded profile
2.7.1. Introduction
Overview
This section describes how to use a recorded machine profile to improve the accuracy of a
robot’s synchronization with a molding machine. This profile is used for modeling of mold
path. Not using a recorded profile will require a bigger distance between robot and machine
model when teaching the path.
Principles of mold synchronization
1. Record the movement of the Molding machine.
2. Activate the record to be used in the next cycle.
3. Activate the sensor synchronization with the RAPID instruction
SynctoSensor.
TIP!
When the molding machine is closing, supervision can be used instead of synchronization.
For more information, see Supervise movement on page 71.
