KUKA Robot KRC0188 - PALLETIZING MODE NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS ROBOT TYPE

Palletizing mode cannot be activated on this robot configuration because the robot is not floor or ceiling mounted. The $ROBROOT parameter values for rotation axes A or B are non-zero, indicating an alternative mounting orientation that is incompatible with palletizing operations.

KUKA Robot KRC0188 - PALLETIZING MODE NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS ROBOT TYPE

PALLETIZING MODE NOT POSSIBLE WITH THIS ROBOT TYPE

Palletizing mode cannot be activated on this robot configuration because the robot is not floor or ceiling mounted. The $ROBROOT parameter values for rotation axes A or B are non-zero, indicating an alternative mounting orientation that is incompatible with palletizing operations.

Common Causes

  • Robot is mounted on a wall or in an inverted position with non-zero $ROBROOT A or B values
  • Incorrect robot mounting type selected during system configuration or WorkVisual setup
  • Robot base frame orientation parameters were modified from factory defaults for custom installations
  • $ROBROOT values were changed during troubleshooting or maintenance without proper restoration
  • Palletizing program or function module was loaded on an unsupported robot mounting type

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Verify the physical mounting orientation of the robot and confirm it is floor or ceiling mounted
  2. 2Check the current $ROBROOT parameter values using the KRC4 system variables menu on the KUKA smartPAD
  3. 3Consult the robot nameplate and original commissioning documentation to confirm supported mounting types
  4. 4Reset $ROBROOT A and B to zero using WorkVisual if the robot mounting configuration permits standard orientation
  5. 5Reconfigure the robot type and mounting parameters in WorkVisual and reload the system configuration
  6. 6Contact KUKA service to verify hardware compatibility if the robot cannot be remounted or reconfigured
