Line tracking

  • Good morning all,


    I would like to know how the principle of line tracking works. I'm not trying to figure out how to configure it, but how it works.


    Is it just the use of an encoder which makes it possible to have the real speed of the conveyor which makes it possible to adapt the movement of the tracking by the robot?


    Thanks everyone!

  • Pretty much.


    Imagine a user frame, where the X offset is controlled by the encoder, divided by your scaling factor, to get millimeters offset.


    The trigger resets the offset to zero.
