Quick question: get force reading

April 2011 in Robot Controller

I am a new programmer, and I need to write a loop to do the following:

 

To slowly move my tool (basically a metal pin) down against my workpiece until the force reaches 100lb (445N). Then read the position data and set a robtarget to that position.

 

Is it possible to do this WITHOUT force control (i.e. simply read the force signal from the robot sensor plate and make the loop quit when it reaches 100lb)?

 

Thanks,

Ben

  Nevermind the second part of that (the WITHOUT FC part). But I still would like some help with the code.
