What to do if ROBOTIQ PE20 Robotics robot comes to a protective stop after palletizing a few layers?

  If your ROBOTIQ Robotics robot comes to a protective stop after palletizing a few layers, it may be caused by a collision between the gripped box and a box already on the pallet. This can happen due to a minor palletizing error carried over from previous layers. To resolve this, increase the box height value to compensate for box size discrepancies. A good practice to determine box height is to measure the height of a full pallet (boxes only) and divide it by the number of layers on the pallet.

What to do if protective stop triggered by ROBOTIQ Robotics robot placing a box on first layer?

  If a protective stop is triggered when your ROBOTIQ Robotics robot places a box on the first layer, it could be because the box height value is too high, so verify the box height value. Alternatively, the pallet height value might be too high, so verify the pallet height value. Finally, the TCP might be incorrect, so confirm that the TCP has been set correctly.

What to do if ROBOTIQ PE20 Robotics robot collides with palletized box?

  Mary SmithNov 7, 2025
  If your ROBOTIQ Robotics robot collides with a palletized box, it could be due to several reasons. A collision might occur between the gripped box and another box on the pallet because of a minor palletizing error. To fix this, increase the box height value to compensate for box size discrepancies. To properly determine box height, measure the height of a full pallet (boxes only) and divide it by the number of layers. Another cause might be that one or several faces of the box are rounded, in which case you should increase the box width and/or box length value. Also, the pallet viewer might not display the actual pallet state, so inspect the Pallet viewer at program start and confirm the virtual layout matches the actual layout. Finally, the pallet height value might be too high, so try de...
