FT 300 Force Torque Sensor - Instruction Manual
42
4.1.1. ActiveDrive Toolbar
The ActiveDrive Toolbar is automatically installed with the Force Torque Sensor URCap Package. It enhances the guiding mode on
Universal Robots by allowing the robot to be hand guided smoothly and easily towards a waypoint. The ActiveDrive feature is a
great way to assist the Path recording described in the Path Recording section, by hand guiding the robot while recording a path.
Info
The Force Torque Sensor URCap Package contains the ActiveDrive Toolbar. Therefore, the toolbar is automatically
installed with the URCap Package. The ActiveDrive Toolbar can be installed and used without the URCap Package (refer
to the UR Package without URCaps section for information on how to install the toolbar without the URCap).
Warning
Verify that the Force Torque Sensor is aligned with the robot arm using the dowel pin. This ensures that the Sensor’s axes
are aligned with the robot and that the ActiveDrive feature will work correctly.
The robot speed set with the Speed slider will affect the speed at which the robot moves in the ActiveDrive mode. Verify and adjust
the speed slider to the desired speed. It has to be greater than 50%.
