NOTE
• For details on the soft limits, refer to "12.1.3 Axis parameters" in this
chapter.
• When the current position is displayed in "pulse" units, the robot can be
moved manually along the axes whose servos are on, even if the servos
of the other axes are off.
• When the current position is displayed in "mm" units, the robot can be
moved manually only when the servos of all axes are on.
• The maximum jog movement time for one movement command is 300
seconds. So if the software limits are set too large and the movement
time exceeds 300 seconds at the specified speed, the robot movement
will stop in 300 seconds. To move the robot further, use jog movement
once again.
The robot moves as follows:
1. Manual movement when return-to-origin has been completed
(1) When the current position is displayed in "pulse" units:
A letter "J" is displayed on the upper right of the RPB screen.

Each time a Jog key is pressed, the robot moves a specified distance (inching
distance) along the corresponding axis. When the Jog key is held down, the robot
keeps moving towards the soft limit of the axis. The robot stops when the Jog key is
released or the soft limit is reached.
The movement distance (inching distance) is equal to the manual movement speed
setting value.
[Example] W hen manual movement speed is 20%:
Inching distance in "pulse" units = 20 pulses
