Move Robot into Position

Description

Access the Move Robot into Position screen when the Robot Arm must move to a particular start position before running a program, or when the Robot Arm is moving to a waypoint while modifying a program.


In cases where the Move Robot into Position screen cannnot move the Robot Arm to the program start position, it moves to the first waypoint in the program tree.
The Robot Arm can move to an incorrect pose if:

  • The TCP, feature pose or waypoint pose of the first movement is altered during program execution before the first move is executed.

  • The first waypoint is inside an If or Switch program tree node.
