Learn how to use the Finishing Tool Control to Start and Stop Tool as well as the 4 points Path Generator with this lesson.
The Finishing Tool Control feature offers two commands: Start Tool and Stop Tool. Select Start Tool to turn ON your tool when it comes into contact with the surface. Select Stop Tool to turn OFF your tool, after it is no longer in contact with the surface. Make sure to set up the configurable output to stop the tool if the process is stopped to avoid any product or tool breakage.
The Path Generator feature allows you to program and edit complex trajectories in a matter of minutes. You can put the Path Generator node within a Force Control node to make sure your robot applies a constant force throughout the process. It can be used for either a 4-, 6- or 9-point trajectory, thus enabling the user to finish complex shape

- Control an external tool with an easy built-in node
- Generate automatic paths from pre-recorded waypoints
