Low acceleration

Platform: Process Simulate

This sanity check identifies joints that would take more than 60 seconds to accelerate to their maximum velocity. This indicates unrealistically slow acceleration, which may be caused by calibration errors, incorrect robot specifications, or missing controller data. The user can investigate and fix the issue or proceed with the export.


Dialog shown in Resolver

Robot: {robotName}Joint: {jointName} (native), Index: {index} Max acceleration too lowRequires over 60 sec to reach maximum velocity Increase joint acceleration limits

What you can do in this dialog

  • Can you continue export? Yes
  • Buttons in the popup: Continue, Cancel
  • What happens next: Continue proceeds with the export. Cancel stops this export run.
  • Next step: See impact if you continue

Impact if you continue

With maximum acceleration this low, trajectories Resolver builds from that data will be impractically long.


How to fix it

  1. Load the correct machine data for that robot so joint acceleration limits match the real controller. In Process Simulate, open the robot Setup dialog and use Load Machine Data.
