Creating and Editing an Accuracy Profile

This procedure explains how to create or edit the accuracy profile associated with a robot.  All robots have profiles that make up part of their controller data.  The accuracy profile defines data about how accurate the robot's path should be. 
To perform this procedure, you must have a robot loaded in the PPR tree (a .CATProcess document).

  1. From the Robot Controller toolbar, click the New Accuracy Profile .

  2. Select the robot from the PPR tree.

    A new accuracy profile appears under the controller node, which is under the robot node, on the PPR tree (in the example, the new accuracy profile is Accuracy.1; the current accuracy profile is the default profile).

  3. Right-click the new accuracy profile, and select Accuracy Profile object>Definition.

    The Accuracy Profile dialog box appears.

  4. Enter the data that applies.

  5. Select the OK button.

    The accuracy profile is now defined.
If you want the accuracy profile you just created and defined set as the accuracy profile for the robot, select the accuracy profile on the PPR tree, use your RMB to get the context menu, and select Accuracy Profile object > Set as current.

The green check mark beside a particular profile indicates that it is set as current (see the Default accuracy profile listed on the image above).
 

Using Teach to Modify the Accuracy Profile
  In addition to the method described above, users can modify the accuracy profile from the Table view of the Teach dialog box by right-clicking on the operation and selecting Accuracy Profile > accuracy profile.  The profiles listed depend upon those defined for the robot, although the profile named Current is always available.  Current, in this case, is defined as the profile from the previous operation that had a profile defined.
