Changing the robot speed
The speed you select in Diagnostics applies only to the robot commands in Diagnostics
(Jog, Move, Transfer, and so on). If the robot is holding a microplate, the slower of the
following will be applied: the speed you selected in the Labware Editor or the speed you
selected in Diagnostics.
You can select the robot speed to accommodate the task you are performing. For
example, you can select the Slow speed when you are creating new teachpoints,
creating and testing protocols, or diagnosing problems with the system.
You can adjust the speed setting for the
x
-axis,
z
-axis, and
theta
-axis for each speed
(high, medium, or slow) as a percentage of the factory-set maximum speed.
