Setup and Configuration
This section provides comprehensive guidance for setting up and configuring your robotic automation system, including robotic arms, process heads, work frames, and control parameters.
Configuration Areas
Robotic Arms Setup
Configure robot models, joint limits, positioning parameters, and workspace monitoring for your robotic systems.
Process Heads (TCP) Configuration
Set up Tool Center Point settings, mounting plates, collision meshes, and advanced layup configurations for your process equipment.
Work Frames and Base Planes
Establish coordinate systems, base user planes, and frame configurations for consistent part positioning.
Robot Control
Direct manipulation and monitoring capabilities including jogging, home positioning, and real-time TCP control.
Collision Detection
Advanced collision detection and avoidance systems for safe robotic operation.
Key Configuration Topics
- Robot Settings: External axes, import workspace, positioning, and visibility toggles
- TCP Settings: Tool information, TCP visualization, line scanner setup, mounting plate, collision mesh, and display mesh configurations
- Base Plane Configuration: User plane setup and configuration parameters
- Robot Control: Jog robot, home position management, and TCP positioning
- Safety Protocols: Workspace monitoring, robot limits, and collision detection
Setup Workflow
- Robot Configuration: Import robot models and configure basic parameters
- TCP Setup: Define tool center points and process head specifications
- Work Frame Definition: Establish coordinate systems and base planes
- Control Validation: Test robot movement and positioning accuracy
- Safety Verification: Confirm collision detection and workspace limits
