Can anyone recommend a sensor for measuring the weight of an object being moved in a pick and place application?
The robot is a scara type (adept Cobra 800)
The object is a silicone wafer (approx 10 grams)
It is held by vacuum suction cups
There will be non moving times of approx. 0.5 sec when this could be done, otherwise acceleration or deceleration would need to be considered. I'm not sure if everything settles out in this time but maybe that could taken care of with software.
Oh yeah, the interesting part, accuracy +/- 0.50 grams
I've heard of load sensors with onboard accelerometers to cancel out the moving effects but haven't investigated them yet.
Anyone done anything like this? Any manufacturers to recommend?
