Down force

Hello,

Have one task: Think of using IRB 6620 to pull down a bolt. The value is set to 800N (80kg). How do I simulate this in RS, and get the current force value from the controller?
When it has reached the value, it returns to home pos. Maybe I need to set the tool weight to 40kg as "helping weight", what would you have done?


Really hope for some good suggestions :)
