Robot detecting range limit while still over a meter from the fence

    As I ramp up the speed, over about 80 percent the robot detects that its going to hit the fence and gives a robot range limit error.

    Is there any way to make detecting the fence a little less sensitive?

    YRC1000 controller with a SP165-105 robot.

    Thanks for the assistance.

    The tool interference file and the robot range are fairly accurate. If I drive it in teach it will stop just before the fence so it appears to be correct. That's why I am a bit confused on why is it detecting the robot range while being so far away.

    I fought this a lot while i was starting out, what i have found is that different mov types will stop differently than others.


    MOVJ will stop much farther out than a MOVL,


    Also set your range limit to be true to the fence, since as you see now, the robot reaction will add a safety factor.

    The controller is looking at the path, speed, and the robot’s stopping distance as factors as when to stop. You are using a fairly large arm.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.
