Hello @Suhas H2,

I attached a model with the solution.

The first problem is that you did not assign the reference to the item in the PFYour problem is that you did not assign the reference in the PF of the piece that was entering the machine.

If you want to Wait until the Robot 2 travel to home, you can check this option in your "Travel to .." activities.

@José Antonio MD,

Thanks for the reply

I want the robot 3 to actually mimick the ped weld behavior. I.e, The pickup(load) from proc1 is say 3sec and then travel to proc2 in 3sec, then ped weld happens there for 6secs, then it travels to queue at 4secs and unloads there for 3secs.

The load and unload happens just once in whole process if u observe.. But in the flexsim model it(load and unload) happens twice.

How to have different move ,unload and load times for the same robot?

Hello @Suhas H2,

You can edit these parameter in the Robot properties.

You can change the LoadTime and UnloadTime in the Robot's Menu (in your model, the time needed for this activities is 0 seconds). You can edit the move time in the same Menu.

You can reference this value to labels, GlobalTable, etc.

I hope I have been helpful.

@José Antonio MD

I think the question was not framed properly by me.

I want to have different move times I.e., for example if the robot loads the part from Proc1 and moves to proc2 at 3secs and after some processes moves from proc2 to queue at 2secs......Here I cant take the average time...

@Suhas H2

Can you give a better explanation of the movements you want? Do you want the Robot to physically move, or just move its arms? Also what @José Antonio MD is suggesting is a way to customize the move/load/unload times based on a table that you can reference, or you can add a bunch of case statements based upon the next destination. Also PED welders are extremely customized so you will need to add these animations and movements to the robot yourself to get the visuals you desire.

Thank you for the reply @Joshua S

Can you please share a sample model of customizing using code(add a bunch of case statements based upon the next destination)..
