Re: what is the best position to leave the UR10e while shutting down the robot?

I don't think there is a recommended position to let the robot overnight. We usually simply shut it down. However, I would avoid having the robot completely extended horizontally but even then i don't think it will caused any problems

Re: How to change "Exit" point in palletize template.

Hi @zoddman, You should then put your exit point outside of the pallet template.

Re: Does anybody knows which motors are mounted on a Universal Robots robot?

@Andre per Kollmorgen, the original prototype design was based on a standard KBM lamination only but the UR robot joints do not use and have never used a standard KBM motor. Kollmorgen is not allowed to share/give out info on specific motor details for the UR joints.. it's a highly customized design that is specific to the UR system. Their recommendation for robotic motors is very different from anything they sell to UR.

New Product Launch: the Robotiq Sanding Kit

Hi Pros, Robotiq just launched its Sanding Kit, the only available hardware and software solution for sanding applications to integrate with CB-Series and e-Series cobots from Universal Robots. The Sanding Kit frees up human hands from tedious and potentially hazardous sanding jobs. It limits your staff’s exposure to common risks related with sanding operations, and reduces staff fatigue by relieving your staff from carrying out these operations. Robotiq Sanding Kit in action.

You can use it on wood, plastic, metal, fiberglass, and carbon fiber.

This brings added flexibility to business processes while keeping workers safe. Sanding Kit data sheet. Credit: Robotiq For more details about the Sanding Kit, click here. Over the coming weeks and months, this blog will explore the benefits of collaborative sanding solutions. We will compare traditional automated sanding tools to those built for cobots, and we will discuss on how to get the most out of your Sanding Kit. More information will soon be made available about polishing, deburring and grinding. You can also join in the conversation about finishing on our forum. Cheers, Annick Robotiq is now into packaging, palletizing and sanding applications. Learn more about our new Vacuum Grippers and the Robotiq Sanding Kit.
