ARC Motion Mode
Application Scenarios
The
ARC
motion mode requires three points in an arc to complete the arc movement process.
In the
ARC
motion mode, only the second point and end point are saved while the start point is
determined by the other modes.
Prerequisites
The Dobot Magician has been powered on and connected to your computer.
Procedure
NOTICE
Note the following rules when saving points to prevent the robotic arm from working
outside its normal workspace.
Any two points cannot coincide.
The three points cannot be in the same straight line.
The arc trajectory cannot exceed the Dobot Magician’s normal workspace.
For example the points A, B, and C are on the arc. Point A is the start point; Point B is the
second point; Point C is the end point, as shown in Figure 5.17.
