Ths is also called accuracy. () The movement command is recorded by pressing [O.WRITE/REC} ‘Concerning the movement command data settings ‘All the movement command data can be changed after teaching. Therefore, until operators become familiar with the operation of the robot, they should simply remember "how to record the robot positions” ‘The data is revised upon completion of the teaching session, "See page 4-37 “4.8 Modifying the program’. Teaching using the function commands (1) Press [FN] (2) Select the function command to be recorded, and press Enter) (3) Specify the parameter (condition) ofthe function command, and press {Enter}. ‘When there is more than one parameter (condition), press [Enter] with each parameter, To correct input errors = Ifthe wrong function or command has been selected, press [RESETIR], + To correct a numerical value, etc. specified in an function command, press [BS]. + To delete the last operation, press [ENABLE] + [BS] ‘The operating method of teaching differs according to the set “Operating mode.” ‘There are two types of operating mode, <> and <>, For details on the operating method, check the set operating mode, and read the appropriate section for that operating mode. <> ‘lB Page 4-12 “4.4 Try Teaching <>" <> "@™ Page 4.23 "4.5 A practice teaching session <>" ‘The set operating mode can be checked in the system environment display.

This refers to the degree to which the path along which the tool moves as it passes through the recorded point of each step describes an arc on the inside of the recorded point. AT to AB can be specified as this degree. When At is specified, the tooltip will pass through the recorded point. When AZ or above is specified, the time required for playback is reduced depending on how far the too! passes along an arc on the inside of the recorded points Select a stringent (lower) accuracy level at the welding points and a lax (higher) level in the air cutting areas. This controler performs inward turn even if the interpolation classification of the linked step is different Control over the rabot operations that involve accuracy levels difers depending on the application used. 46 (wo) Sab 12 application is used When a level from At to AB is specified, the overlap speed ratio changes step by step across a range from 0 to 100%. Even ifthe accuracy level remains the same, the path of the robot is changed by the recording speed. (The higher the recording speed, the further inside the arc which is described.) Even if the playback speed is changed, the inward turn tracks are calculated so as not to affect the tracks. However, the actual amount of inward tum may differ due to machine curvature or servo control delay. Changing the playback speed means speed changes when the speed override or low safety speed functions. are used. Accuracy levels when arc welding is. performed Over Level | coed rao Ai 0%.

With the “continue” method, the robot tool passes smoothly along the inside of the tool path with no reduction in its speed. ‘Continue’ is described in "4.3.4 What is the accuracy level?”,) Since this control method generates the path in such a way that the tool moves along the inside of the path formed by the recorded points, itis used for those areas where the tool does not make contact with the work but moves from one point to the next through the air. With the pause” method, which is also referred to as “in-position check,” each time the command position inside the robot reaches a step, the actual robot arival is awaited before advancing to the next step, ‘This method is used at steps such as spot welding which require a high level of positioning accuracy. To select continue or pause, open the screen editing screen, and select “0" or “1” at the position shown in the figure below. When "1" is selected, “P" appears following accuracy levels “A1-A8,” ‘This indicates that pause has now been set. “Continue/pause” indicated here (without "P”: pass; with *P": pause). 1 4° 1200 mm/s LIN Al_TI 5 600 mm/s LIN A{PITI 6 400 mm/s LIN AT TI Fig. 4.3.1 Example of steps displayed with “pause” ‘An alternative way to set continue or pause as the recording status is to use the [Continue/Pause] fey.

However, the positioning accuracy differs according to the accuracy level. The lower the figure used for the accuracy level, the greater the deceleration at the recorded points and the higher the positioning ‘accuracy which is achieved, Record the accuracy level for those steps requiring positioning accuracy. 48 4.3.6 What Accel e IMPORTANT. 8 IMPORTANT, is the acceleration? The “acceleration” isa function which adjusts the smoothness by adjusting the acceleration of the robot operation. When vibration arises due to a factor such as the rgicity of the tool or work, the: robot can be moved gently by using the function in the movement command concerned. As a result, the amount of vibration is reduced. Unlike the “accuracy level" which expresses the positioning roughness when the tool passes through the recorded points, ‘acceleration’ functions. feven when there is one movement command. “Acceleration” can be specified for each movement command, and one of four different settings (0, 1, 2 or 3) can be selected. At an acceleration setting of 0 (00), the robot accelerates or decelerates at its maximum capacity, and the higher the setting used, the more smoothly (that is, to say, the lower the acceleration) the robot moves. (Factory setting) Effects produced by “acceleration” ‘Acceleration setting of 0 ‘Acceleration, setting of 1 Acceleration & setting of 2 -Receleration setting of 3 Fig, 4.3.2. “Acceleration” Open the screen editing window, and set a level from 0 to 3 at the position shown in the figure: below. ‘Anumber appears after ‘D."

When “acceleration” is sot, it always takes longer for the robot to move. Since this will adversely affect the cycle (tact) time, do not record the function in movement commands unnecessarily. Both “acceleration” and “smoothness” can be recorded at the same time. Both will function simultaneously. 49 in 4.3.7 What is smoothness? “Smoothness” is a function that adjusts the smoothness by changing the acceleration speed of the robot axes. When vibration arises due to a factor such as the rigidity of the tool or work, the robot can be moved gently by using the function in the movement command concemed. As a result, the amount of vibration is reduced. Unlike the “accuracy level” which expresses the positioning roughness when the tool passes through the recorded points, "smoothness! functions even when there is one movement command. “Smoothness” can be specified for each movement command, and one of four different settings (0, 1,2 or 3)can be selected. At a smoothness setting of 0 (S0), the robot accelerates or decelerates at its maximum capacity, and the higher the setting used, the more smoothly (that is to say, the lower the acceleration speed) the robot moves.
