Robot States
World State
When world state is selected, movement in the X, Y, or Z direction is parallel to an
axis of the world coordinate system. Before the speed bars will move the robot, an
axis of motion must be selected from the manual control buttons. The world
coordinate system for a SCARA robot is shown in Figure D-13. If X1 is selected,
pressing the “+” speed bar will move the robot tool flange in the positive X
direction. Pressing the “–” speed bar will move the flange in the negative X
direction.
