Path Recording - ROBOTIQ CNC Machine Tending Kit Instruction Manual

5.6. Path Recording

The Force CopilotURCap adds a Pathnode in PolyScope which can be used to record paths directly by moving the robot. The
ActiveDrive Toolbar is a great tool to use while recording a path, as it is an easy way to hand guide the robot end-effector. Path
recording can be used for specific processes requiring complex paths (polishing, gluing, etc.) or more generally, for any task otherwise
requiring programming many waypoints. The Path node offers options to modify the recorded path to change its speed and play the
path backwards or relative to a variable starting position.
