COLLISION DETECTION

VerdandiRussell

Hi members,

Currently, my client got issue with Comau Robot.

Robot application is for pick and place. The robot will ONLY pick up the product when the product is release from the clamper unit.

Unfortunately, robot still pickup the product even though clamper unit still not release the product. Since there have no collision detect setting, severe damage for robot gripper and jig itself.

What I understood, robot system should be complete with Collision Detect function during purchased the robot.

Is it Comau robot need to purchase difference package for collision detect function inside software of robot?

I got information from client, current robot there have no collision detect function.

If I recall correctly, collision detection isn't an option in COMAU controllers, but this feature is implemented different in newer C5G Plus controllers.

So, while on C5G and backward You need to explicitly declare CD_Start and CD_End instructions in the program, on C5G Plus you just need to configure the Collision Detection sensitivity on an specific screen, like FANUC Collision Guard, for example.
So, a good start point would be know what is the specific controller of this robot.
