13. How does Universal Robots track conveyor belt reclaiming? What is the fastest speed?
The robot is able to track the reclaiming of the conveyor belt, which requires accurate knowledge of the direction and speed of the conveyor belt (including speed changes), and the relevant parameters need to be integrated into the robot's movement speed.
Firstly, the feature function of the "Installation Settings" window is used to define the linear feature and obtain the movement direction of the conveyor belt. Secondly, the conveyor speed is read in real time by pulse encoder or Modbus TCP encoder, and the tick per meter is calculated by using the conveyor encoder resolution and the radius of the rotating disc as the tracking coefficient of the robot. Finally, the Universal Robots "Tracking Conveyor" program template was used to complete the conveyor tracking reclaim.
Universal Robots move from 0 m/s to conveyor speed, which requires an acceleration process, and the robot travels are short, so it is recommended that the conveyor speed should not exceed 1 m/s.
14. Does Universal Robots have powerful control sensors? How is the force control function realized?
In order to control costs, Universal Robots' robotic arm does not have force control sensors of its own, and the robot monitors changes in force by monitoring the changes in torque and current experienced by each joint in real time. The software uses force_mode (Feature, Compliance, Force, Type, Limits) script instructions to define the coordinate system of the force, the direction of the force, the magnitude of the force, the type of force and the limit of the deviation of the position, so as to realize the force control function.
Force control related data: force control accuracy ±10N, torque accuracy ±5Nm, position accuracy ±5mm, direction accuracy ± 0.5°.
15. What are the commonly used software for Universal Robots? Are system upgrades free?
Universal Robots has the following common software: Robot System Software PolyScope, Offline Simulation Software URSim, Magic File Software for Program and Log Backup, Log Reader Software, Robot Arm Packing Program, Robot Image File Software.
There are also some third-party company software: RoboDK's robot 3D simulation software, ArtiMinds force control software.
