How to create virtual encoder signals based on robot TCP position in specific direction?

HossamElaarag

I would like to use the TCP position (X,Y,Z) Data to create a virtual encoder signals to a profile scanner so that according to the movement of the robot the scanner will capture some profiles.

I would be so thankful if someone could help me with that.
Thanks

Hi,
Here is a custom smart component for what you want to achieve. It updates the TCP-Position continuously as long as the simulation is running. The only requirement is you attach a tool to the robot and selects it as tool and then the tcp as the "Flange property".

Thanks @dnilsson I will try it.
