The 6A10 cobot is controlled by its end, what RB3D calls the intention rudder. This control surface is made up of 2 types of sensors:
– The presence of hands on the handles of the 6A10 serves to detect the user’s hands and thus ensures safety. When the cobot does not detect a hand, it remains in position, motionless. When it detects hands, it will be able to follow the operator’s intention thanks to the second sensor.
– The 6-dimensional force sensor measures the force exerted on the handles by the operator, then transmits this information to the PC which controls the cobot’s motors. These then allow the axes to be moved so that the cobot goes in the direction desired by the operator.
On the control cabinet side, a gain selector allows you to adjust the amplification of the operator’s force, by a factor of 1 to 6, in relation to that exerted on the rudder. The operator can thus find working comfort between great responsiveness and fluidity of movement (6), and precision and stability (1) to carry out his task.
