Tool Weight

The weight of the tool installed on the flange can be set by adding a tool weight Workcell Item. The Tool Weight can be set in Robot Parameters > Tool Settings > Tool Weight.

  • The tool weight can be measured using the auto measure function.
  • It is recommended to add tool weight as Workcell Items for each tool with a workpiece. If the workpiece weight is too heavy, the robot may recognize the weight of the workpiece as external force. It is because the robot determines this external force as a collision and stops.
  • When creating a task, change the weight Workcell Item according to the process to change the tool weight. For example, it is possible to configure a task to select the standard tool weight Workcell Item before picking up a workpiece, and select the tool weight Workcell Item with the workpiece after picking up a workpiece.


The activated tool weight Item can be set as the standard tool weight by pressing the set tool icon (

) on the top of the teach pendant.

  • Set of the tool setting is the same as the set of Other Commands. Set command can be used when changing the Tool Weight while a task is being performed. For more information, refer to Task Editor Module.


Note

  • Up to fifty different tool weights can be registered.
