4.3.1 Setting the Speed Reduction Rate in Manual Operation
The speed reduction rate in manual operation can be limited to 10% or below of that
in automatic operation.
This section provides the reduction rate calculation procedure using the maximum
composite tool-end speed and the target speed in manual operation.
NOTE: For details, refer to the ISO 10218-1:2006, Safety Requirements.
The example below uses a 3-joint mechanism configured with Cartesian coordinates
and limits the tool-end speed in manual operation to 250 mm/s or below.
(1) Check the specifications of the 3-joint mechanism and calculate the maximum
speed of each joint.
3-joint mechanism
X-joint: Max. speed 2000 mm/s
Y-joint: Max. speed 2000 mm/s
Z-joint: Max. speed 1000 mm/s
Calculating the maximum speed
Assuming:
Lead/rev.: 40 mm
Maximum motor rotation: 3000 rpm,
Then:
