Changing the robot speed
The speed you select in BenchCel Diagnostics applies only to the robot commands in
BenchCel 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 BenchCel 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.
To select the robot speed:
1
In
BenchCel Diagnostics
, click the
Controls
tab.
2
In the
Speed
list, select
Fast, Medium,
or
Slow
.
Note:
During a protocol run, the robot uses the speed selection in the VWorks
Tools > Options dialog box. If the robot is holding a microplate, the slower of the
following will be applied: the speed in the Labware Editor or the speed in the
Tools > Options dialog box. For more information, see the
VWorks Automation Control
User Guide
