4-7. Create a new file
Prior to teaching, it is necessary to creat a file in which teaching points data and robot commands will be saved.

Î
[File name]
Initially a file name is automatically specified in
the file name box. You can either use the name or rename
it.
[Tool]
Specify the tool number in which offset data of the tool
attached to the manipulator is stored in.
[Mechanism]
As for the robot system with external axis, it is
possible to classify machinery freely. It is factory set to “1:
Mech 1” at delivery.
For details of “Tool” and “Mechanism”, refer to the operating instructions (advanced operation).
4-8. Teach and save teaching points
When you save a teaching point, data of the robot orientation and the travel method (interpolation, travel speed etc.) are
saved at the same time. The interpolation and travel method saved in the teaching point are the travel method from the
preceding teaching point to the current teaching point.

“Add” automatically.
1. Turn ON the
Robot
motion ON
icon lamp so as to move the
robot manually.
2. Bring the edit window to an active state.
3. Move the robot to the start point and then press the
Enter
key. The dialog box below appears.
4. Change fields in the box if necessary and press the
Enter
key or click the
OK
button to save it as the
teaching point.
Teaching
point
Travel method
(Interpolation, speed etc.)
All of this information
is stored with each
teaching point.
Normally the home position of the robot
manipulator is used as the start point.
[Interpolate]
Specifies an interpolation type between teaching
points. For example, MOVEL means that the robot makes linear
movement.
Air-cut: Check the circle of “Weld” for welding operation from the
current teaching point to the next teaching point.
Otherwise, check the circle of “Air-cut”.
Weld: Check the circle of “Weld” for welding operation from the
current teaching point to the next teaching point.
[Position name]
Specifies position variable of the teaching point.
[Manual speed]
Specifies the robot travel speed from the
previous teaching point to the current teaching point.
[Wrist calculation]
Normally set “0”. Or specify 1, 2 or 3 for
special calculation.
(This field is not available if the teaching point is “MOVEP”)
