Default Lift asrs fork with kinematic

Hi everybody,

i want to know if it is possible to apply a kinematic to an asrs forks (lift element) in order to lift it along z direction, instead of using normal tasksequence command( TRAVELTOLOC, FRLOAD, FRUNLOAD).

The reason of my question is that i have connected an asrs to an AGVnetwork, so the TE is capable to follow curve path, but if i give to asrs, simple TRAVEL TASK in order to travel from a control point to another control point, it doesn't moving the lift while it travels and i eventually waste time when it reaches the rack and has the lift at a wrong z location.


i've tried to apply a kinematic to the node " MODEL:/traslo>variables/forkkinematics", to apply a kinematic using a label as kin node, put the updatekinematic command on the CustomDraw trigger but it doesn't work.

is there someone that as an idea on how i can do the travel task at the same time of the kinematic move of the lift ?
Or how i can apply a correct kinematic to lift the fork ?


Thank you very much

Kind regards

Dear Mauro,

If you add a lift kinematic operation using the addkinematic() command to the fork. The fork of the ASRS will be lifted to the required height during its travel operation.The forkkinematics node under variables node is responsible for the kinematic operations of the fork. Here I believe, you don't have to create an additional kin node label for doing the aforementioned. After unloading the fork will follow the default kinematics operation.

note- You have to write addkinematic command in the on load trigger of ASRS.

Please see the attached model.

Regards,

Arun KR

Hi,

Thank you for your reply !
At the end i apply the kinematic to the node:
("MODEL:/traslo>visual/drawsurrogate/Lift"); because i use the asrs with a shuttle on it.
Everything goes well so i keep this solution.

Thank you again.

Kind regards
