Addressing “TRAK-005: Track Destination Gone” Errors

In this video, we will go over how to troubleshoot and prevent the TRAK-005: Track destination gone error that can occur in conveyor line tracking systems. If you’ve worked with robotic line tracking, you know this error can disrupt production and cause unnecessary downtime. Our goal is to help you understand what this error means, why it happens, steps to recover, and steps to prevent it.

We’ll start by reviewing topically-relevant differences between the two main software families used for conveyor line tracking: Line Tracking and iRPickTool. Throughout the lesson, we will explain how these differences affect your next steps in resolution and prevention of TRAK-005 errors.

Next, we’ll break down the root causes of the TRAK-005 error. We’ll show you how improper settings can lead to this issue and what adjustments can make a big difference.

You’ll also learn proper recovery steps if/when the error occurs and why prevention is always the best approach. We’ll cover four proven methods to avoid this error:

• Adjust the discard line (for iRPickTool systems)
• Set proper upstream and downstream boundaries
• Reduce robot operation time
• Decrease conveyor speed

By the end of this session, you’ll know how to calculate discard line offsets, optimize robot paths, and balance system speeds to keep your line running smoothly.

What you’ll learn:

• Differences between the Line Tracking (J512) and iRPickTool (J944/J945) software options relevant to the TRAK-005 error
• What the TRAK-005 error means and why it happens
• How to recover when it occurs
• Four practical strategies to prevent future errors
• A formula for calculating the iRPickTool Discard Line value
• Tips for optimizing the relationships between boundaries, robot operation time, and conveyor speeds for peak performance
