Hi,

On June 15, 2018, Robotiq released version 1.3.0 of its FT 300 Sensor URCap (UCS-1.3.0).
Please refer to the support product page of the Sensor for literature and downloadables.

The main add-on is the FT Mode node, which allows to apply force and torque values along and around axes.
With the various user-defined settings available, operators can thus use the Force Torque Sensor to follow irregular shapes and/or surfaces for applications such as polishing, deburring, finishing, dispensing, etc.

The user can edit the following settings:

  • Select a reference frame (tool vs. base)
  • Choose from the axes along/around which the force values will be applied
  • Adjust the force/torque to be applied
  • Adjust the stiffness (%) and deviation range
A convenient Test button is made available for assessing the robot's movement according to the user-defined settings, prior to programming with the node.
