Jogging
Jogging the robot means moving it around manually via the teach pendant.
Clearing the Alarms To Allow Motion
FANUC employs many safety features that make the job of programming, repairing, and setting up much less risky. FANUC even offers collaborative robots that are designed to be safe for working around (and with) during active operation.
In our lab, the primary safety devices are as follows:
- Emergency Stops
- DeadMan Switch
- Teach Pendant Switch
- T1/T2 Mode
- Distance Sensor
- Force Sensor
- Speed Limits
Jogging for Teaching Points
Teaching points on the FANUC robot is a bit easier than just measuring and then entering numbers on the teach pendant.
Jogging in Different Frames
X - The X axis on our robot is the forward and back motion of the robot. Standing in front of the robot cart, positive X is toward you. Y - The Y axis on our robot is the left and right motion of the robot. Standing in front of the robot card, positive Y is to your right. Z - The Z axis on our robot is the up and down motion of the robot. Standing in front of the robot card, positive Z is up. W - The W axis is YAW and is the rotation around the X axis. P - The P axis is Pitch and is the rotation around the Y axis. R - The R axis is Roll and is the rotation around the Z axis.
