CAM in Solidworks is the light version of the addin CAMWorks. We have ordered a custom postprocessor for Kuka of their local distributor years ago.

Hi,
the files have to be in the following path:
C:\KRC\ROBOTER\Config\User\Common\SensorInterface
It seems that I implemented the offset externally in Matlab. Sorry.

This is how i would like to have the configuration of the FTtask, but this gets deleted if someone presses save on the KUKA pendant
You could create a new RSI program and basically copy all your FTCtrl blocks into it. Therefore, it does not get overwritten. The downside is that you can't edit it in the FTCtrl menu. Only directly in the RSI.
without the IIR filters before the ZeroGrav function, the output of the function is centered at zero.
I haven't encountered this problem but could you apply the filtering instead to the output of ZeroGrav?
If this doesn't work, I've build a simple custum function to center the output at zero at the start of the program. I could search for it.

Hi,
I did some research regarding stiffness compensation and some more or less basic force control. Unfortunately you have to obtain them experimentally. If you have a KR600 you could use my published data. Perhaps this might also contain other useful information for your force controller:
Real-time stiffness compensation and force control of cooperating robots in robot-based double sided incremental sheet forming - Production EngineeringIn robot-based incremental sheet forming, the forming robot is displaced due to the forming forces and the comparable low stiffness. As the forming forces can…link.springer.comFrom my experience, stiffness compensation isn't necessarily needed for force control. The big challenge is to find the right control parameters which requires extensive and tedious testing.
The only case where you need stiffness compensation und force control simultaniously is when you have big transversal forces to your desired force direction. In this case your point of contact is distorted without stiffness compensation.
Good luck with you implementation.

Re you using Relative or Absolute mode?
-
Did you set the correction limits inside RSI Visual with the object AXISCORRMON?
-
Your RSI files must be stored in this folder:
C:\KRC\ROBOTER\Config\User\Common\SensorInterface
Are they there?
-
Taken from the RSI 3.1 documentation.
-
You set Onlysend to False in the XML. Therefore, the RSI expects an answer that it does not get. You might want to set it to True to test the communication in atleast one direction.
-
What is the distance between the points of the LIN-movement? We've encountered a similar problem using small increments.
-
I guess you don't need them if you don't know what they are. Just delete them in send and receive.
-
You need to change MaxRotAngle in Poscorr and Poscorrmon
-
By default the maximum total position adjustment is limited to 6mm. You can use the poscorrmon object in RSIVisual to extend the limit.
-
How does the XML look? Is OnlySend false?
-
Have you checked if both FT-Sensors have the same default IP? That might be the problem here. You can connect them directly to a computer and acces them via the web browser to change the IPs.
Afterwards you have to change the IPs of the FT6D_SEN Blocks in your RSI application.

With ForceTorqueControl comes a program called LoadDataDetection. I have never used it for its intended purpose but based on the name it might do the trick.
