Can I use the robot to weigh an objekt?

eiven

Hi!

I want to use the robot to weigh an objekt.

Purpose: I want to put down an objekt of unknow height. I want to move down until the weight of the objekt decrease.

I can do this using "MotionSup" and the robot stops when the object land on a surface. Only problem is this gives an error I cannot handle in the error handle. I need to detect the collision without a full stop. I know the hardware is present; otherwise the MotionSup could not function, but I want to use this in a controlled way...
 
Does anyone have an idea of what to do?

Hi

If you are placing the objects in the same spot you can have a io signal telling that the object has arrived at it's position and then you connect that io signal to a SearchL instruction. You can read more about the SearchL instruction in the documentation.

Yes this is possible but it depends on the plan on how you will do this. there easier ways to this if you'll place them in spot only like mentioned above, you'll just like incorporate scales like the digital one now adays and do it in a robot.
