Robotiq Force Copilot

Robotiq Force Copilot is a software extension for Universal Robots that makes force-controlled work fast and intuitive. The software uses data from the integrated UR force/torque sensor and transforms demanding tasks such as joining, polishing, pressing, or edge detection into easy-to-program steps. Force Copilot enables precise process control and significantly reduces programming effort.

Simple force and torque control
Guided programming modules for press fits, controlled contact initiation, or component scanning.
Greater process stability
Automatic compensation for tolerances, positional deviations, and surface variations.
Quick setup thanks to URCap
Intuitive user interface directly in the UR-Teach pendant, no external sensor required.

Description

Force Copilot utilizes the UR e-Series force sensor and provides predefined functions that facilitate typical force-controlled processes. These include:

  • Path recording: Manually demonstrate movement paths and reproduce them exactly
  • Surface Finding: Automatic detection of surfaces, edges, and contact points
  • Insertion Tasks: Precise joining and pressing despite component tolerances
  • Alignment & Adaptive Tasks: Automatic adjustment to actual workpiece positions
  • Force Control: Constant force during movement, ideal for grinding or polishing processes

Thanks to visual guidance and guided menu structures, even complex tasks can be programmed without in-depth robot expertise. Force Copilot increases process reliability, simplifies automation, and is particularly suitable for assembly, quality control, polishing, and the precise approach to positions or contact points.
