A RoboDK Python pick-and-place program must attach the simulated workpiece to the robot tool after the pick motion completes and before the UR10 moves toward the conveyor. The available evidence confirms that RoboDK’s Python documentation includes a Pick and Place example with an object-to-tool attachment operation, but it does not provide the exact API method name or arguments.
Define the Simulation Requirement
The attachment operation represents the workpiece being held by the UR10 tool. It affects the RoboDK simulation state; the evidence does not establish that it controls a physical gripper or robot output. Treat physical gripping as a separate integration requirement unless the project documentation explicitly connects it to robot I/O.
Place the Attach Operation in the Sequence
- Run the approach and pick motions.
- Complete the motion that positions the tool at the object.
- Call the object-to-tool attachment operation shown in RoboDK’s Python Pick and Place example.
- Move the robot and attached object to the conveyor release position.
- Use the corresponding release operation from the documented workflow when the object must remain on the conveyor.
Do not guess the API identifier from the graphical Attach command. Copy the attachment call, required item references, and argument order from the installed or current RoboDK Python documentation, then substitute the project’s tool and object references.
Verify the Pick-and-Place Behavior
Run the station in simulation and pause immediately after the attachment call. Confirm that the intended object follows the tool during subsequent robot motion. At the conveyor release point, confirm that the object stops following the tool after the release operation. If attachment fails, first verify that the Python references resolve to the intended station object and tool, and that the call executes only after the tool reaches the pick position.
FAQ
Where should I attach an object in a RoboDK Python program?
Execute the documented attachment operation after the UR10 reaches the pick position and before it begins moving toward the conveyor.
What RoboDK Python command attaches an object to the tool?
The evidence confirms that the Python Pick and Place documentation contains the required operation, but it does not provide the method identifier. Use the exact call and arguments from that documented example rather than guessing a command name.
Does RoboDK object attachment activate the real UR10 gripper?
The evidence supports simulated object-to-tool attachment only. Configure physical gripper actuation separately through the applicable robot or I/O workflow unless project documentation explicitly links both actions.
