Did You Know: Double tap the free drive button to activate force copilot

Robotiq’s force co-pilot expands on the ease of use and capabilities of your Universal Robot. The ActiveDrive function takes free drive to a new level allowing you to restrict the axis of movement and use the force sensor to guide the robot for precise positions.

Previously with ActiveDrive you had to click the + icon on the pendant and press the on button before you moved the robot with ActiveDrive. This would become quite awkward while creating a large program.

Now you can just tap the free drive button twice and hold on the second press. If you have the ActiveDrive window open you will see the On/Off button turn red indicating that it is on.  It can take a few tries to get the hang of it, but once you do it will allow you to create programs easier and faster than ever!
