Jogging the robot moves the robot and robot grippers in small, precise increments
along one of the axes. You can jog the robot to fine-tune its position when creating and
editing teachpoints.
To jog the robot:
1
On the BenchCel Diagnostics Controls page, click the Jog/Teach tab.
2
Enable the robot motors. See
page 147.
3
In the robot movement area, select the jog distance from the corresponding
increment list, if applicable.
Use smaller jog increments than you think you need to ensure that the robot does not
bump into obstacles in its path (such as the stacker heads and plate stages).
