Hello,

I am trying to implement a robotic project built by someone else.
The setup contains :
- a robotic arm with a TCP attached to it (2 cameras mounted to it)
- a turntable for objects to be photographed by the cameras

   

I don't have much experience in RoboDK, but I should be able to :
- replace the robot with our model
- run a python program that checks if the robot can access all the positions required to take the pictures

The problem is that when I try to replace the robot from the basic_setup (that already works), even with the same model, I get an automatic collision between the robot arm and the TCP attached to it.

The next two images are with collision check enabled
This one is the basic_setup :
   

This one is after replacing the robot  (Right-click + "Replace Robot) with the exact same model :
   

I unfortunately can't find anything on this forum explaining my problem or any solution to it.

Thank you in advance for your help

If you see collisions when setting up your project in RoboDK I recommend you to turn collision detection off (Select Tools and uncheck the option Check Collisions).

Once you have built your cell and you want to enable collision checking, you should first properly setup your collision map by selecting Tools-Collision Map. The collision map allows you to define what object interations you would like to check for collisions.

That was what I needed. Sorry it feels so simple and I missed it.

Thank you very much

Perfect, thank you for letting us know.
