5.1
Robot mechanism temperature compensation function is a function to measure the temperature of the robot
arm and automatically correct errors due to thermal expansion of the arm.
With this function, even if the temperature changes depending on the season and time zone, positional shift
due to thermal expansion of the robot arm can be suppressed.

*Not supported with vertical articulated (5-axis) robot or user mechanism.
*Additional axis is not subject to temperature correction.
Temperature correction is always enabled.
However, when specifying the position command by pulse coordinates like the
Mxt command (real-time external control command) specified with motor pulse
coordinate data, temperature correction is not performed.
