1. Can Universal Robots actively run programs after they are turned on? How?

Under normal circumstances, Universal Robots boot up to run the program, and the following processes need to be completed: startup, initialization of the robot (on, start), loading of the program, startup of the program, return to the starting point (active), and startup of the program.

In order to actively complete the above process, you need to set the active loader in the "Acquiescence Program" tab of the "Device Settings" window, and set the DI signal for active initialization and active startup of the program. In addition, remember to save it in the default.installation file.

In order to avoid the operation of returning to the starting point, the waypoint type of the initial point can be set to relative roadpoint or variable waypoint, but it is necessary to ensure that the movement process of the robot back to the initial point in the direction at that time is safe.

2. Can Universal Robots arbitrarily view devices? What parameters need to be modified?

The device referred herein refers to the device orientation of the mechanical arm based on the base flange, and when the mechanical arm device is fixed, the robot device orientation and viewpoint are set in the "device" tab of the "device setting" window of the teach pendant; It is critical that the controller uses a high-level dynamic model to ensure smooth and precise movement of the robot arm and to enable the robot arm to self-support itself in free drive mode.

The system acquiesces to the robot arm on a smooth and level table or floor, in which case no changes need to be made to the Devices tab. However, if the robot arm is a ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, or viewpoint-oriented device, it will need to be adjusted using the buttons in it.

The button on the right can be used to set the device viewpoint of the robot arm, the first three buttons on the right can set the viewpoint to the ceiling (180?), the wall (90?), and the ground (0?), and the tilt button can be used to set the arbitrary viewpoint; The button at the bottom is used to rotate the robot arm's device viewpoint to align with the actual device viewpoint.

3. What is the reliability of Universal Robots? What are the precautions when using it?

Universal Robots has an estimated life cycle of 35,000 hours, and each robot undergoes a rigorous start-up test before leaving the factory, with the purpose of detecting component and installation defects, and only after testing can it leave the factory; The key components of the robot are selected from well-known brands to ensure their quality and reliability.

The robot should be used in accordance with Universal Robots' technical specifications and user manuals, without overloading, with the correct setup and wiring, and the correct TCP parameters as well as speed and acceleration parameters.
