7.3.10. Jog inching level

 

This function restricts the operation while in jog operation in manual mode, within the designated moving distance. This can be applied usefully in the jog operation for a desired distance.

Table 7‑3 Job inching function specification

Major function	Remarks
Inching enabled coordinate	Axis, Rectangular, Tool, User
Inching distance speed level	8

 

n  Inching support for joint coordinate

Movement will occur according to the set moving distance (mm) and angle (deg) for each axis.

 

n  Inching support for Cartesian coordinate

 

n  Inching support for tool coordinate

 

n  Inching support for user coordinate

Moves as much as set for the X, Y Z positions (mm) and the Rx, Ry and Rz (deg.) postures.

 

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 7.75 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.

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.
