VIA Motion Instruction for SCARA robots

Nov 30, 2023

Staff Engineer and Product Manager

This tutorial explains the VIA instruction for FANUC SCARA robots. It is designed to optimize pick-and-place tasks by simplifying obstacle avoidance and path planning. It covers how VIA reduces complex programming from seven lines to three lines by automatically generating relay points. The video discusses three types of VIA instructions: default, fine, and CNT. Each type offers different levels of control for faster and more precise movements. Live demonstrations showcase practical applications, such as a robot handling small parts over a vision station. These demos emphasize the differences in path planning. Tips for combining VIA with other instructions are included to enhance programming efficiency.
