[shadow=yellow,left][size=32px]can you please start from begin and provide something valuable? information shared so far is very sketchy. if you have an issue, try getting to the point and facts instead of using flowery language.[/size]
[size=32px]it does not help us to know managmenet wants and does something or sentences like:[/size]
[size=32px]"Just read the damn thing." [/size]
[size=32px]it would be better to show current solution and state what specifically is not good about it.[/size]
[size=32px]yes there is a system variable telling motor current. you can find it if you follow link shared. hint, it is in the system variables manual and it came up in previous forum conversations so no need to repeat it. [/size]
[size=32px]i dont think that relying on motor current is a good approach since it is inprecise. it is like trying to determine if you are out of milk by weighing the fridge. it is much better to use more direct approach.[/size][/shadow]

In order,
I literally stated the entire issue. I don't need anyone to program it for me, I simply need to know what my options are for checking the height of said pads with, A: Just the robot and, B: Just the part. I then suggested that maybe my solution lies somewhere is the system that detects collisions, which probably means I don't need to measure anything. But if you need it spelled out, no it doesn't need to measure, just be able to tell if something is there or not, also suggested by "setting a test point using a part with the max allowable height and moving a mm or so away"
I'm describing part of the issue? How does it not help to know that management does not want to use sensors or increase cycle time by too much?
Some people have better senses of humor than others I guess?
There is no solution. Wheels are still blowing up. Hence my desperation for answers by posting in this forum. Also implied by "my last solution" and "they didn't want to do it"
I did click the link and read through your OP, but within the same post you say "don't post kuka manuals" and then later "here's a subforum for kuka manuals." As far as not repeating things, it's difficult to search for something I don't know the name of, however, I did attempt to search the kuka forums for a similar fanuc option, to no avail.
I still agree with that. And I'm still open to other suggestions.

I'll take a look at that manual subforum. I only need suggestions and/or names of options. I'm a big boy, I can figure out the rest on my own.
G'day
Edit: I did go back and reread that post. I was wrong about the stated manual policy, and I'll run a search later.
Stiiiiiiiiiiiill open to suggestions
