Limit, Safety

with a radius) Orientation restricted by the
deviation from the feature Z direction of the
tool flange OR the TCP. This safety function
consists of two parts. One is the safety
planes for limiting the possible TCP
positions. The second is the TCP
orientation limit, which is entered as an
allowed direction and a tolerance. This
provides TCP and wrist inclusion/ exclusion
zones due to the safety planes.
SF6
Description
Speed

& Elbow
Monitors the
TCP and
elbow speed
to prevent
exceeding a
speed limit.
SF7
Description
Force
Limit
(TCP)
The Force Limit is the force exerted by the
robot at the TCP (tool center point) and
"elbow". The safety function continuously
calculates the torques allowed for each joint to
stay within the defined force limit for both the
TCP & the elbow. The joints control their
torque output to stay within the allowed torque
range. This means that the forces at the TCP
or elbow will stay within the defined force limit.
When a monitored stop is initiated by the
Force Limit SF, the robot will stop, then "back-
off" to a position where the force limit was not
exceeded. Then it will stop again.
User Manual
What happens?
Will not allow motion to exceed any limit settings.
Speed or torques could be reduced so motion
will not exceed any limit. A robot stop will be
initiated to prevent exceeding any limit. Will not
allow motion to exceed any limit settings.
