Version of RobotStudio that support Force control

[sunyc]

Hi,

I am currrently using RobotStudio 5.10.
However, it seems that Force Control functionality is not available in the version that I am currently using (or may be I do not know where to activate it).

May I know how can I activate it or which version of RobotStudio should I install in order to have the force control functionality for machining?

Thanks.

It should be available through the virtual key, you also may wish to install the ForceControl Machining Additional Option on your PC from the RobotWare CD. Unfortunately, though, I am unaware of any mechanism to simulate the force sensor that is required to use force control, so you may a difficult time doing any meaningful simulation.

With RobotStudio 5.11 you may install Add-Ins Machining PowerPacs. it’s designed for ForceControl simulation.
with virtural key you can choose RW options 877-1 Machining FC, 661-2 Assembly FC. The limitation is without Additional option key FC GUI & Flexpendant Interface, you can’t use the ForceControl GUI (Graphic User Interface)

Hi all,
I have a problem that the force control is not activated in my robotstudio as shown in the attched photo. Currently I using a trial version. Is it because this is a trial version or some other resones. I have activiated the 877-1 Machining FC GUI and 661-2 Force control base.
Thanks so much
