Description
Start / Stop
Tap to start or stop ActiveDrive. ActiveDrive will automatically turn off after 30s
of inactivity.
When started, ActiveDrive allows you to move the robot freely by applying
forces on robot’s end-effector. This is different from the Free Drive feature on
the robot, where you can move the robot arm.
Modes
Shows the current ActiveDrive mode. When tapping the icon, the available
modes will appear and you can change to a different mode. ActiveDrive modes
allow you to restrain the robot to specific movements.
Free
Free motion: all translations and rotations are allowed.
Scara
SCARA-style motion: all translations and horizontal rotation (twist) are allowed.
Translation
Translation motion: only translations are allowed. No rotation of the robot is
possible in this mode.
Plane
Plane motion: horizontal translations and horizontal rotations (twist) are allowed
(no vertical motions are allowed).
Dominant
l
Works like the Translation mode, but the robot will only move in one direction,
X, Y, or Z at a time.
l
The robot detects the direction the user is trying to move and will lock the
movement in that direction.
Drift Control
Tap this button to stop the robot from drifting (resets the sensor’s offset) and to
remove all forces applied on the robot.
Square robot
Aligns the tool center point (TCP) orientation with the robot base. Tap and hold
this button to automatically move the end-effector to the closest orthogonal
orientation of the base axis system.
