No, it's not 🙂 To begin your UR journey, we recommen you start with our free e-learning available here: academy.universal-robots.com/free-e-learning/e-series-e-learning/e-series-core-track/
Yes, you can design and build your own end-effector. We don't have a specific template, but you can join our developer network where you can find all the information you need and get help from other developers: www.universal-robots.com/developer/
This looks easy on the e-series. I recently removed the controller from a CB-series, and it was much more complicated, and I found the upper-left 10mm nut almost inaccessible.
hi there!!, what is the differences between getting updated the polyscope version and getting a full image? Do I have to update both? or just the polyscope one?
Hi Ivan. Full image is for reflashing the USB. It will delete all data and restore to factory settings. The update file is for updating the existing image on the USB without resetting anything. If everything works as intended, the recommendation is to use only the update file.
I have a lot of difficulty getting the robot to set a machined side into my chuck flush with the back of the 3 jaw chuck. My grippers are 3 rotating pins on arms. There is always a side with a small gap which does not happen when the machine is hand loaded. Is there a good place to find a solution to this particular issue? I am also trying to find a way to have a robot depalletize a table of raw stock into a machine. But the robot only takes stock from my first stack, which means I have probably routed things wrong. Thank you for any assistance.
Hi Richard - here are some suggestions to solve your problems: You can find our free online courses here: academy.universal-robots.com/free-e-learning/ Or you can create a post in the UR forums here: forum.universal-robots.com/ If none of the above solves your problem, I suggest you contact the distributor from where you bought the robot to obtain assistance.
No. The payload wizard estimates the center of gravity of both the gripper and workpiece as if they were one physical object. The payload wizard cannot estimate the center of gravity for only the workpiece.
Hi Abby. We don't any guidance on programming this exact example, but in the UR script manual you can find descriptions of all the different commands: help.universal-robots.com/OTHER/ScriptwebG5/Content/prod-scriptmanual/G5/The%20URScript%20Programming%20Language.htm
@@UniversalRobotsAcademy thanks for this! do you need to have a certain version for the "untill --> tool contact" option to be available? I'm currently running URSim and this option is not available for me.
I would like to enable the freedrive with two hands, like in "Enable freedrive with input signal". Got a UR10e with the newest Version of Polyscope. Is it possible over the TP ?
Hello Ivan. Yes it has - on UR robots, frames/coordinate systems are called features. If you are interested in learning how to program UR robots, you can use our free e-learning courses (there's also a module on working with features/frames) academy.universal-robots.com/free-e-learning/e-series-e-learning/
Yes you can. In such case you would have to teach two TCPs and switch between them during program run. And in most cases you would need four different payload/CoG settings: both grippers empty, both grippers loaded, gripper 1 loaded (gripper 2 empty), and gripper 2 loaded (gripper 1 empty). You can find an example of a dual-gripper setup in our free machine tending e-learning here: academy.universal-robots.com/free-e-learning/e-series-e-learning/e-series-application-track/
My company bought a UR10e, how can we align ourselves (automatically) against a table that is always at a different tilt? Is there a script or function that allows me to modify my pre-set plans after running my program?
Hello Noe. You need to set the feature (plane) variable to make all MoveJ/MoveL to be related to the feature/plane variable - whenever you change the variable value the plane is changed and the waypoints are moved.
Yes, it can be done during program execution. You need to set the feature (plane) variable to make all MoveJ/MoveL to be related to the feature/plane variable - whenever you change the variable value the plane is changed and the waypoints are moved.
There is no align script command. Just by changing the feature/plane the waypoints are shifted already. You just need to call on the MoveJ or MoveL tab the new feature/plane and the waypoints will be aligned automatically.
Thank you. I have a problem. The TCP orientation changes when moving from one way point to the other and is in danger of spilling a liquid or smashing glass. How can I make the TCP orientation fixed during transition?
Hi Hediyeh. If you're using a MoveJ, you can change that to a MoveL - that should solve the orientation issue. If you're using a MoveC, try changing from fixed to unconstrained and see the behaviour.
Hello Andreas. No, there is no need to change the waypoint coordinates, the new joint will take over it. There are some small tolerances between each joint manufacturing (less than 0.1mm), that if a high precision is needed after replacing, a Dual Robot Arm calibration can be performed or a TCP recalibration can be done. If you need further information, please contact your UR distributor or local UR support.
