Adjust program when AX series is raised on a platform

::heading=Context

It is sometimes possible to raise the AX series on a platform to accommodate higher pallets than what is made possible by the linear axis. To simplify programming, a script exists to adjust the palletizer's base height.

 

::heading=Knowledge

Place this script inside a new program : node_rpc_server.setpalletizerbaseheightfromfloor(height_in_meters)

Here the palletizer is placed on a 0.5m platform. 

Run this program once, then Suppress this script command from the program tree and create your palletizing program.

 


::important=If you simply test this feature without raising the AX series on a platform, work at reduced speed. Depending on the settings, the tool may hit the floor.


Here is a view of the updated collision model (ignore the low ceilling):

The TCP at release position is now 0.5m lower than before.

The 0.5m is measured from the floor to the bottom of the palletizer's base.


::important=It is important to reset the platform height to 0.001 when wanting to go back to normal settings.
