2.3.5 User Coordinates
In the user coordinates, the manipulator moves parallel to each axis of the
coordinates which are set by the user. Up to 24 coordinate types can be
registered. Each coordinate has a user number and is called a user
coordinate file.
The figure and the table below describe the motion of each axis when the
axis key is pressed.

Axis Name Axis Operation Key Motion

Axes
X-axis Moves parallel to X-axis.
Y-axis Moves parallel to Y-axis.
Z-axis Moves parallel to Z-axis.
Wrist Axes Motion about TCP is executed. See section 2.3.7 “Control
Point Operation” on page 2-15.
• When two or more axis keys are pressed at the same time,
the manipulator will perform compound movement.
However, if two different directional keys (such as [X -] + [X
+]) for the same axis are pressed at the same time, the
axis will not operate.
(When [X -] + [X +] + [Y +] are pressed, only the axis
corresponding to [Y +] will operate.)
