Polishing

This is a skill that polishes the target’s surface with a polishing tool. It must be used together with the End_Task skill, and a task motion command can be inserted.

The polishing skill provides One-Point Task mode which is a mode that polishes the interior of a hole using a polishing tool. This mode must be used with the End_Task skill, but a task motion command is not inserted in between. This mode allows patterns to be added for tasks, but it does not provide force control.

  1. Recommended Default WCI: Tool

  2. Create Skill: TaskBuilder → Add Tool (Skill Type: End-Effector & Pattern)

  3. Optional Features: Add pattern (One-Point Task mode setting), approach pose setting, Compliance Control, Force Control

  4. Confirm Condition:Select Tool and Pattern and press the Set button (pattern selection can be omitted).Save Teaching PoseEven if a pattern is not used, gLoopCountRev must be selected under Repeat Condition.

Default Motion Sequence

  1. Default Mode
    Move to Approach Pose → Tool Motion (Run) → Move to Teaching Pose (→ Task Motion → End_Task)

  2. One-Point Task Mode
    Move to Approach Pose → Tool Motion (Run) → Move to Teaching Pose (if a pattern is added, move to Pattern Calculation Pose) → Repeat Motion (→ End_Task)

Pattern

Select if a pattern is used


Reference Pose

Teaching Pose

- This is the polishing start position.

- Reference Pose changes to Position Referenced during pattern setting.


Task Setting

One Point Task (Option)

This configures One Point Repetition Status.

False

[True, False]

Hole Depth

This is the orientation depth from the teaching pose.

10 mm

[0 ~ 200]

Repeat Value

Repetition Count

0

[0 ~ 10000]

Repeat Velocity

Repetition Velocity

30 mm/s

[0.001 ~ 8000]

Repeat Acceleration

Repetition Acceleration

0.03 m/s2

[0.001 ~ 20]

Repeat Condition

Select Repeat Index

- The repeat condition is used as the pattern index when a pattern is used.


Task Velocity

This is the velocity from the approach pose to teaching pose.

- During pattern use, Task Velocity is the velocity until each pattern point.

100 mm/s

[0.001 ~ 8000]

Task Acceleration

This is the acceleration from the approach pose to teaching pose.

- During pattern use, Task Acceleration is the velocity until each pattern point.

0.1 m/s2

[0.001 ~ 20]

Tool Setting

Set TCP (Option)

Select TCP Setting Status

- When Set TCP is set to True, it configures the TCP of the End-Effector used by the skill.

True

[True, False]

Tool Wait Time

Standby time after tool run motion.

0.5 s

[0 ~ 10000]

Approach Pose Setting

(Option)

Approach Distance

Distance from the teaching pose in x, y and z directions

- The approach distance must be entered in a 1 x 3 array (i.e. [x, y, z]).

- During pattern setting, the approach distance set in the pallet UI is applied.

[0, 0, -100] mm

[Individually -1000 ~ 1000]

Velocity for App. Pose

This is the motion velocity to the approach pose.

250 mm/s

[0.001 ~ 8000]

Acceleration for App. Pose

This is the motion acceleration to the approach pose.

0.25 m/s2

[0.001 ~ 20]

Motion Time for App. Pose

This is the motion time to the approach pose.

- If a motion time of greater than 0 is entered, the Velocity/Acceleration values are ignored.

0 s

[0 ~ 10000]

Blending Radius for App. Pose

This is the blending radius connecting the movement between the approach pose and the teaching pose.

- If a blending radius of greater than 0 is entered, all optional items (Set TCP / Compliance Control / Force Control Setting) must be set as False.

0 mm

[0 ~ 1000]

Compliance Control Setting

Compliance control (Option)

Select Compliance Control Status

True

[True, False]

Stiffness

Stiffness Setting

x=y= 3000 N/m, z= 900 N/m

[0 ~ 20000]

rx=ry=rz= 200 Nm/rad

[0 ~ 1000]

Force Control Setting

(Option)

Task Direction

Orientation setting during force control

- Orientation is based on Tool Coordinates.

Z

[X, Y, Z]

Contact Margin

Margin for contact sensing section setting

- The contact sensing section is configured by adding the +/- contact sensing margin from the teaching point.

2 mm

[0 ~ 100]

Desired Force

Target Force Value

- Target force must be greater than the sense value, and the absolute value must be greater than 10N(In the case of A series, there is no limit to the desired force value).

12 N

[-1200 ~ 1200]

Contact Force

This is the reference force for contact sensing.

10 N

[0 ~ 1200]

Timeout

This is the contact sensing time.

10 s

[0 ~ 10000]

  • Freely teach the routine using motion commands that can be used between polishing and End_Task. The available motion commands are as follows: movel, movec, movesx, moveb
