2.1.1 Control Group
For the NX100, a group of axes to be controlled at a time is called “Control Group”, and the group is
classified into three units: “ROBOT” as a manipulator itself, “BASE” that moves the manipulator in
parallel, and “STATION” as jigs or tools other than “ROBOT” and “BASE”. BASE and STATION are also
called external axes.
Robot
Base
Station
This is the axis for the
manipulator itself.
This is any axis other than the ro-
bot and base. It indicates the
tilt or rotating axis of the fixture.
This is the axis that moves the entire manipulator.
It corresponds to the servo track.
It controls the path of traveling manipulators.
