7.3.10. Jog inching level​

 

This designates the movement for job operation in manual mode. This limits the movement within the set range. This is efficient in controlling the jog movement for a desired distance.

n  Inching support for joint coordinate

If you select the axis coordinate, you can control the operating degree within the set degree for each axis.

 

n  Inching support for Cartesian coordinate

If you select the Cartesian coordinate, you can control the distance by designating the X, Y and Z location (mm) and Rx, Ry and Rz position (degree) of the Cartesian coordinate.

 

n  Inching support for tool coordinate

If you select the tool coordinate, you can control the distance by designating the X, Y and Z location (mm) and Rx, Ry and Rz position (degree) of the tool coordinate.

 

n  Inching support for user coordinate

If you register the user coordinate and select the user coordinate number in the condition setting, you can control the distance by designating the X, Y and Z location (mm) and Rx, Ry and Rz position (degree) in Cartesian coordinate jog.

 

n  Inching level

If you set the same level of inching distance as the existing job speed in 8 levels. You can set the inching distance for each level.

 

n Inching jog operation

 

①    If you press the key for longer than to reach the inching distance, even with the jog key, the speed decelerates to the inching distance and stops as shown below.

 

Figure 7.43 Robot activity when the key is off after the inching distance is reached.

 

②    If you release the key before reaching the inching distance, it decelerates from the release point and stops as shown below. This is same as general jog mode.

 

Figure 7.44 Robot activity when the key is off before the inching distance is reached

 

③    Inching function limits the maximum distance per push as shown above.

 

n Others

When the speed level is 1 in the axis coordinate system, it is fixated for the encoder to move by 1 bit.
