How can a system be stopped as soon as the torque on the actuator has reached a certain value during a contact?

Hello everyone,
I am simulating a machine tool in Adams View where I want to investigate the force with which the workpiece and the tool touch each other. To do this, I drive my system with a torque that acts on a simplified ball screw. The torque is regulated with a PID controller - so that the tool can follow a defined movement on the workpiece. If I now define a contact force between the workpiece and the tool, the torque simply increases and so does the contact force, as the PID controller wants to maintain the specified speed. Is it possible to define a condition so that the torque stops or no longer increases above a certain torque?

  • Thank you both for your help. I think a sensor should be sufficient for the moment. Now I have one more problem. The torque is at the start of the motion pretty high because it has to overcome the static friction. Is it possible to add an option where the sensor is deactivated in the beginning and then activate the sensor when the static friction is overcome?
