This guide will demonstrate best practices for dealing with high payloads and processes to optimize performance. The example application will cover precise calculation of payload, effects of restricting tool flange orientation, and how to utilize the payload curve during the design process. Comparatively, payloads falling within the shaded region can run with full motion parameters.
This guide will also show how to setup the Safety System to constrain the motion profile with the Tool Direction limit. This and other best practice features are vital during setup.
The specific example used for the entirety of this guide will be a typical palletizing routine. Motion will be constrained so there will be no rotation about the tool flange X or Y axes. The example application is defined in Section 3.
Additionally, a guide to understanding and correctly applying the Tool Wrench Limit function is provided in the download section of the article.
