I was wondering if it is possible to use the loaddata to detect if the gripper is holding a part or not. Currently the program will still run even if the operator forgets to load a part and so the gripper is not holding anything. The program currently changes the load so that the weight of the part doesnt cause a crash. Is there anyway to check loaddata and stop the program if it is too low?

You do not have a part present sensor? And NO. The Loaddata is something you define to tell the robot how much it is carrying. Torque values from the motors would tell you something about what it is or is not carrying.

Not currently. Was wondering if its possible to do without one or if thats the easiest way.

Part present sensor would definitely be the easiest way.

ok ty

Also, the scenario you proposed would stop the robot when it is TOO LATE. It would have left the load station and then someone would have to intervene to get it back to load station. With a part present sensor, the robot does not leave until the part required has been detected.
