OptiMove

Description

The OptiMove motion value is an advanced feature of PolyScope X Joint and Linear Move commands. See Joint Move and Linear Move.

 

OptiMove allows you to have the following benefits:

  • More dynamic robot acceleration and deceleration

  • Smoother moves with less jerk

  • More fluent acceleration and deceleration

  • Higher travel speeds

  • Reduced vibrations and loads on the robot and mounted equipment

The combined effect in OptiMove generally results in improved cycle time with more fluent motion and reduced strain on the robot.

 

To access OptiMove

  1. Go to the main program screen. See Command Nodes.

  2. Tap the Joint Move or Linear Move icon on the Commands toolbox.
