FAQ

  • How does RTR ensure that the motion created is accurate to the real robot’s path?

    • If RTR is controlling the robot at runtime, we command it at a fine interpolation interval and monitor its progress. PS verifies if TCP path recordings that RTR generates are the same as RCS module path.

  • Does RTR reorder the weld sequence in order to either improve inter collisions or cycle time?

    • Order of weld sequence is defined by user through PS. RTR doesn't know or operate this order/sequence anyhow. What RTR does is it finds the shortest path between targets in the sequence that is given by PS. We do not currently optimize the weld sequence however the user can quickly iterate over different sequences and observe the effect on cycle time.

  • How fast is the process of “auto creating” via’s?

    • It depends on many factors: how many targets needs to be connected, what complexity of the targets (are they in tight location? are they close to obstacles? etc.), CAD objects size, hardware capabilities, etc.

  • When doing the path creation does RTR adjust the robot rounding?

    • We don't currently support smoothing in PS. If RTR is used at runtime, a smoothing value can be specified and controller will make sure the motion is still collision-free.

  • Does RTR generate interlock report in Process Simulate?

    • Not currently but is in the roadmap. Contact your sales representative for more information.

  • We need to re-export after every little change in the cell, does RTR plan to address this?

    • We are working on the implementation of incremental export function which will avoid long waiting time when making major changes

  • PS reports collision but RTR does not report collision. What to do in such a situation?

    • This could happen because of wireframe entities. You can do so within Process Simulate by removing the check for “Ignore wireframe entities” box under Options>Collision
