4.4 Restrictions to jogging
Jog additional axes
Additional axes can only be jogged axis-by-axis. Please see
Application
manual - Additional axes and stand alone controller
.
Jog mechanical units that are not calibrated
If the mechanical unit is not calibrated the text
Unit not calibrated
will be displayed
in the
Position
area of the
Jogging
window.
An uncalibrated mechanical unit can only be jogged axis-by-axis. Its working range
will not be checked.
When the robot is not calibrated, incremental movement is restricted to one step
per joystick deflection. A calibrated robot performs 10 steps/sec when deflecting
the joystick.
CAUTION
Mechanical units whose working range is not controlled by the robot system can
be moved to dangerous positions. Mechanical stops should be used and
configured to avoid danger to equipment or personnel.
Jog robot axes in independent mode
It is not possible to jog axes in independent mode. You need to return the axes to
normal mode in order to jog. Please see
Application manual - Controller software
IRC5
for details.
Jog while using world zones
With the option
World Zones
installed, defined zones will restrict motion while you
jog. Please see
Application manual - Controller software IRC5
for details.
Jog with axis loads not set
If equipment is mounted on any of the robot axes, then axes loads must be set.
Otherwise overload errors might occur when jogging.
How to set axis loads are described in the Product Manuals delivered with your
robot.
Jog with tool or payload weights not set
If the weight of tools and payloads is not set, then overload errors might occur
when jogging. Loads for additional axes controlled by specific software (dynamic
models) can only be set in programing.
