Tool compliance and safety sensor
The tool is capable of both vertical and sideways operation. The maximum possible force that the bit can exert on a screw in axial direction, referred to as axial force, depends on the orientation of the tool as shown on the following table:
Orientation |
Maximum axial force [N] |
|---|---|
Vertical
|
48 +/-3 |
Horizontal
|
26 +/-3 |
If the force exceeds the max. axial force, the robot goes into safety stop.
Note
Some screw types need higher axial force than others for the driving torque to transfer into the screw. If the force is too small, the bit will jump out of the screw-slot and start spinning freely. To avoid this, we recommend using vertical tool orientation for screws requiring larger axial force and change worn out bits regularly.
