1.3 The FlexPendant

Introduction to the FlexPendant

The FlexPendant is a hand held operator unit that is used for many of the tasks
when operating a robot: running programs, jogging the manipulator, modifying
programs, and so on.

The FlexPendant is designed for continuous operation in harsh industrial
environment. Its touchscreen is easy to clean and resistant to water, oil, and
accidental welding splashes.

The FlexPendant consists of both hardware and software and is a complete
computer in itself. It is connected to the robot controller by an integrated cable and
connector.

Note

If protective gloves are used, these must be compatible with touchscreens when
using the FlexPendant.
