During simulation of robots to place workobjects, a message saying a collision with a placed workobject pops up, and the planning always fails

You are viewing an old version of the documentation. You can switch to the documentation of the latest version by clicking the top-right corner of the page.

Symptom:

The planning always fails during robot simulation. A failure node occurs in the move-type Step following the "Place" Step, indicating a collision between the tool and a placed workobject.

Affected Software Versions:

All Mech-Viz versions

Possible causes:

By default, collisions between the tool and the "held workobject" are not detected, but collisions between the tool and the "placed workobject" are detected in the Mech-Viz. In some cases, the tool and held workobject embed into each other, causing a collision. When a workobject is placed down, the "held workobject" becomes a "placed workobject". At this point, the tool is not completely separated from the "placed workobject", so the Mech-Viz will register a collision between the tool and the "placed workobject".

Solution:

Select the move-type Step following the “Place” Step in the Pick or Place parameter. In Move-Type Step Common Parameters, select “Do Not Check Collision with Placed Workobject”.
