Set Payload - Universal Robots E Series Original Instructions Manual

23. Program Tab

23.11.14. Set Payload

Use the Set Payload command to set the payload of the robot arm. You can adjust the payload
weight to prevent the robot from triggering a protective stop, when the weight at the tool differs
from the expected payload.
NOTICE
Setting the payload correctly ensures optimal motion performance and avoids
protective stops.
• Set the payload when picking up- and releasing objects with a gripper.
To use the Set Payload command you can:
• Use the drop-down, under Select Payload, to select one of the payloads already configured in
the installation.
• Or, use the drop-down to configure a new payload by selecting Custom Payload and
completing the mass and CoG fields.
You can also use the Set Active button to set the values on the node as the active payload.
