Hello,
We are pulling a tube out of a machine and I would like to make sure we actually removed the tube before restarting the machine in case gripper drops the part. We have the RobotIQ F-85 gripper and the part weights 0.65kg I've tried using the rq_is_object_detected() but it is unreliable and alarms out frequently when the gripper is still holding the part. I issue the rq_close_and_wait() then immediately after check the status of rq_is_object_detected(). So I thought perhaps I could check the payload weight? I've searched the forums but I cannot find an example of this. Can it be done? Thanks!

The E-series from UR do contain an actual FT sensor in the tool flange so this method should be reliable.
