Mimimam tool speed at Reduced Mode on Safety Robot Limits

Product Wishlist
1

Summary

I want to set lower speed value than 160 mm/s to Tool Speed in case of Reduced Mode.

What is it?

When I set a value to Tool Speed in case of Reduced Mode, minimum value is defined as 160 mm/s as below, so I can’t do it. For example, I wanna set 10 mm/s to it.

Why is it needed?

From a safety perspective, 160 mm/s is still considered a high speed, particularly when a UR robot handles sharp objects at its tool point.
(Even when operating in Reduced Mode, a sharp object impacting a person can result in injury.)

I would like to argue you should use the safeguard inputs instead of reduced mode if you’re handling sharp objects in the tool. :slight_smile: That will stop the robot completely while off, but it will resume by itself after the safeguard is enabled again.

However, there’s no reason to limit it to 160 mm/s nevertheless.
