Physics Layout Robot Programming

Robot Programming
1

Hello VC,

I would like to add a physics function to the product and construct a layout where the robot picks it.
The process is like this.

  1. Production falls on the floor on a conveyor
  2. The robot picks up and loads the dropped product

If a product includes a physics function, the drop positions are all different, so how do I organize the programming that the robot picks?

Thank you for your help all the time.

All the best,

You’ll need to script the robot movements with Python. An useful example might be the “Bin Picking” layout from eCat that uses physics to shuffle products around and then robot picks them onto a conveyor.

Also if you are using process modeling stuff, it might just work automatically as it calculates the robot motions dynamically anyway. Using physics in the PM product components is kind of unexpected though and might not really work.

Thank you for your help.
Let me check the sample layout you gave me.
