Speed Bars
In World, Tool, and Joint Mode
The speed bars are used to control the robot’s speed and direction. The joint(s)
that will move when the speed bars are pressed depends on the “state” selected
with the
./3(0
button. Press the speed bars with your left thumb. Pressing
the speed bars near the outer ends will move the robot faster; pressing the speed
bar near the center will move the robot slower. See page 253 for details on positive
and negative directions.
In Comp Mode
See the description of the Step Button on page 251.
