Hand-Guiding Operation
The user can change the robot’s pose by directly moving the robot. Use the Hand-guiding button on the teach pendant or use the cockpit located on joint J6 to change the robot’s pose.
Caution
- Before entering the robot’s operation range, press the Hand-guiding button on the teaching pendant one or two times to make sure that the robot does not move when no external force is applied.
- If a tool is installed on the tool flange, configure the tool weight on the Workcell Manager and Jog screens on the teach pendant before changing the robot pose. If the Hand-guiding button is pressed without configuring the tool weigh, the robot may move abruptly.
- When using tools whose center of gravity are far away from the flange too much (400 mm or more), the robot can generate unstable vibrations. In such cases, operate the robot manually using the jog function rather than with Hand-guiding.
