Hi everyone,

Here is an exclusive demonstration of a new software (which we will launch soon) that allows you to program a robot's trajectory in seconds.

Do you have specific applications in mind where this software would be particularly useful? Let everyone know below :)

Here is the video demonstration only for DoF members:

**Please note that in order to install this file, you need UR beta software 3.3.0.111 (beta 3) on your robot as it uses functionalities that are not released yet. Robotiq cannot distribute the UR beta software so this trial is only available if you are in the UR beta distribution list. You also need a Robotiq Force Torque Sensor (FT 150 or FT 300) in order to use the beta software. It is still in beta so do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any issue.**

Will there be a version that will work with a Motoman Robot?
@engmgr, it is not planned to release this software on Motoman Robot.

However, we do have a similar product on Motoman, Kinetiq Teaching . It does not allow to record continous paths. However, it allows to guide the robot and save various waypoints (joint, linear, circular) in order to produce an INFORM job. It was designed for welding applications (it has some icons for welding options, for instance) but I know that some people use it in other applications, i.e. to teach a sequence of points, save an INFORM job and then add some other instructions (gripper, etc.).

@gerenga, the actual code moving the robot is the script function "servoj". We haven't made tests with conveyor tracking but if servoj supports it, it should behave the same way with the Path Recording functionality.
If I recall it right, servoj doesn't support as conveyor tracking is doing a shifting of the tcp in conveyor direction. Since you are using servoj there is nothing for conveyor tracking to work with and it may ignore it.
However just a guess, would have to be confirmed.
