6.1 Instructions
6.1.1 Search_1D - One-dimensional search
Usage
Search_1D is an instruction used for tactile searching with SmarTac. The search
path is described by two required robtargets. The search result is stored as pose
data in the required argument Result. All SmarTac board activation and
deactivation is automatically handled.
Basic examples
Search_1D peOffset, p1, p2, v200, tWeldGun;
The robot moves on a path from p1 through p2. When contact is made with the
part feature, the difference between the contact location and p2 is stored in
peOffset.
