  • Robotiq Force Copilot

    Robotiq Force Copilot is a software package designed for using the force and torque values read by a force torque sensor in the framework of robotic applications. The software interface provides force and torque feedback that can be used for robot hand guiding, force control processes, assembly tasks, product testing, and much more. 

  • Lesson 11 - Force Control with Copilot

    • Learn how to use the Force Control node of Copilot with this lesson. Copilot boasts a force control mode that can be used to apply force and torque values along and around axes. With the various user-defined settings available, operators can use a force torque sensor to apply constant force and torque and thus follow irregular shapes and surfaces for applications such as polishing, deburring, finishing, dispensing, etc.

      Feature Highlights:

      • Apply a constant force on an irregularly shaped surface
      • Define on which reference frame the force will be applied
      • Adjust the stiffness and deviation range on every axis
      • Use Enable Stiffness option to minimize the bouncing effect
