6.7. JOG INTERFACE
6.7.1. PRESENTATION
The jog interface is a utility dedicated to the manual control of robot movements and the teaching of robot
positions.
When arm power is disabled, the jog interface can be accessed by pressing a movement mode selection key
(Joint, Frame, Tool or Point), whatever the current robot working mode. When arm power is enabled, the jog
interface can be accessed with the same keys, but only in manual mode.
The jog interface displays the context of the movement under manual control. This context is important to avoid
unexpected movements. Therefore when the jog interface is exited, the movement mode is also reset
automatically. It is however possible to exit the jog interface while keeping the movement mode active by pressing
Shift-Esc.
