UR16e for Incremental Sheet Forming

Hi. I am a new learner of doing Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) using UR16e. The plan is to first try to form the clamped aluminum sheet from one side using displacement control and then in later stages to use another robot to apply localized forces.

My simulation on Abaqus with one tool is giving me ~1.2kN forming forces in -z direction (forming direction). I want to get know from community if anyone has used UR16e for such applications? If yes, can they recommend me something related to programming the cobot through URScript or ROS for such application?

I have no experience with ISF, but are you saying you need 1200N or 120kg of downward force to form the sheet?
The UR16e is capable of maybe 1/10 of that force. :slight_smile:
