10.1 Temperature and Humidity

Ambient temperature and humidity are important parameters when calculating the pressure 

value. Determine the ambient conditions with the previously mentioned measuring equipment 

and note these. Use exactly the same parameters when importing the pressure image into 

CoboSafe-Vision.

Cause

Remedy

Scan does not start

The scanner may be in sleep 

mode.

Activate the scanner

Pressure measuring film 

shows the maximum pressure 

on the surface during scan

Unsuitable pressure measu-

ring film (measuring range 

too small)

Use suitable pressure measu-

ring film. Use type llW ins-

tead of type lW

Collision forces too high

Reduce collision forces by 

changing the robot parame-

ters

colors

Calibration sheet dirty or da-

maged

Replace calibration sheet 

with a new one

no original calibration sheet 

used

Use the manufacturer's origi-

nal calibration sheet.

Film scan performed without 

calibration sheet

Carry out the scan again 

with the calibration sheet on.

Scanner defective

Replace scanner with scan-

ner of the same type

Film scan results in implausib-

le values

Scanner dirty

Clean the Scanner
