Robot IK path to path bounce

David Hallahan PEng 6 months ago in General Questions updated 6 months ago 8

Hi, 

I've taken your prefab Stauebli robot and the path it comes with and simply made a second copy of the path then run the two paths in sequence by using Start Next Path. You can see in the video that the robot TCP jumps when transitioning from Path 1 to 2. Is there a way to correct this? 

There are no Position Corrections applied or new TCP. 


I have seen this in all the pathing that I have tried, regardless if Position Correction or new TCP is used. Some correction (bounce) happens when moving from one path to another. 


It's a big issue because very often a path into a position is not the same as a path out (in a pick and place application) and this issue creates unusable behavior in this situation.


Thanks
