Hi,
Did you check the safety limitation in the installation tab ? You can increase the force the robot can handle before going to protective stop.
If you do that, please be sure there is no safety danger regarding the personnel around.

I don’t know your application so its hard to say, try gradually 5 by 5. Just to let you know, if your application has been validate by a security organization, modifiy this parameter is a modification to the safety, so it should be verify again.
