Is there a way to increase UR memory?

IcI 2020-02-11

I am using the Path generator from the Finishing Copilot on an UR5e. I have a new complicated task requiring ~45 paths.

Programming became slow after 25 paths. And very slow at the end. Is there an easy way either to split the program or to increase the available memory for this task.

When running the full program, all the interface became unresponsive and I have no way to interact anymore with the UR. When it finished I have to push the power button... and reboot.

Is there an easier way?

Any help welcome.

I thought about script but do not understand yet how to make it work with the path genereator...

Thanks in advance fo any advice.

Regards

Etienne

Hello @IcI,

What URCap version of Copilot are you using?
I suggest you get the latest one on our website (1.13.2). I know we have done some improvement with the slowness of the program when a lot of nodes are used like your application.

In the meantime, I am going to create a support ticket so we can have a better follow up on this with you.

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply and the help. I was on a older version...

Updating to the latest help a lot, updating a generated path and navigating throught the program.

Remains the fact, that when running the program, I cannot pause, resume or stopped it properly :(

I am still running polyscope 5.5.1. I will try updating to 5.6 Next time the robot is not running. Maybe this will help.

Hello @IcI

Just to loop back the support ticket and this DoF post, I heard that updating both the URCap and the Polyscope did help with the slowness.

Happy to hear that!

Do not hesitate to create another DoF post or send an email to support@robotiq.com if you face other issues.

Best regards.
