Generating a Batch Collision Report

You can analyze and eliminate clashes while teaching a robot or programmable device.

Creating a manufacturing simulation enables you to obtain an interference analysis for the manufacturing scenario. Any instances of clashes are listed in a Clash panel.

When a clash instance is selected, an exciter panel appears that lists all of the motion activities running at that time step. You can start Teach for the motion activity of interest by clicking the corresponding motion activity in the exciter panel and eliminate the clash.

  1. From the Analysis & Output section of the action bar, click New Manufacturing Simulation .
  2. From the Analysis & Output section of the action bar, click New Interference .
    The Interference specifications dialog box appears.
  3. Define the parameters of the interference and click OK.
    The new interference instance appears in the Probes side tab.
  4. From the Analysis & Output section of the action bar, click New Manufacturing Scenario .
    The Manufacturing Scenario dialog box appears.
  5. Click the Probes side tab. Select the Interference probe that you created earlier and move it to the Referenced list.
  6. In the Sequencing side tab, add resources to the manufacturing scenario.
  7. Add a robot task to the manufacturing scenario.

    You can select multiple resources of different types. Multiple robot tasks can be added to the manufacturing scenario.

  8. From the Analysis & Output section of the action bar, click Simulate and Generate Results .
  9. In the Results side tab, right-click the result of the simulation and select Interference Analysis from the context menu.
    The Clash panel appears.
  10. Select a clash from the Clash panel.
    An Exciters panel appears, and lists all motion activities for the Simulation time of selected clash.
  11. Selection of motion activity of interest
    The Teach panel appears. The task with corresponding motion is the current selected instruction.

    The corresponding motion activity in the Robot/Device Task at that instance of time is highlighted and the robot adopts the pose at the instance in time where the clash occurs.

  12. Use the functions provided by Teach to modify the motion and eliminate the clash.
