5.8.2 About the manual mode
What is the manual mode?
In manual mode the manipulator movement is under manual control. The
three-position enabling device must be pressed to activate the motors of the
manipulator, that is, enabling movement.
The manual mode is used when programming and for program verification.
There are two manual modes:
What is the manual reduced speed mode?
In manual reduced speed mode the movement is limited to 250 mm/s. In addition,
there is a limitation on the maximum allowed speed for each axis. These axis
limitations are robot dependent and cannot be changed.
The three-position enabling device must be pressed to activate the motors of the
manipulator.
What is the manual full speed mode?
In manual full speed mode, the manipulator can move in programmed speed but
only under manual control.
The manual full speed mode is used for program verification only.
In manual full speed mode the initial speed limit is up to, but not exceeding, 250
mm/s. This is achieved by limiting the speed to 3% of the programmed speed.
Through manual control the speed can be increased up to 100%.
The three-position enabling device must be pressed to activate the motors of the
manipulator, and the hold-to-run button must be pressed to start program execution.
