Point-to-Point Motion

A Point-to-Point Motion statement is a motion in which a robot interpolates its joint values to reach a position.

Example. Point-to-point motion of robot from P1 to P2

Properties

Position

Name Description
Position Defines the position matrix using XYZ coordinates and Rx,Ry and Rz rotational values.
Name Defines the name of position.
Configuration Defines the configuration of the robot at position.

The configuration names are defined by the kinematics behavior of the robot and can be manufacturer specific.

Statement

Name Description
Base Defines the base frame used by robot for the statement.
Tool Defines the tool frame used by robot for the statement.
ExternalTCP Defines the interpolation mode for position.

False uses Base to Tool interpolation.

True uses Tool to Base interpolation.

CycleTime Defines the total elapsed time for motion, beginning to end.

A zero value means robot ignores cycle time.

A value greater than zero means robot overrides speed settings to scale motion to cycle time. For example, a cycle time of 5 seconds means a motion that might otherwise take 2 seconds will now take 5 seconds.

JointSpeed Defines the maximum speed for joints driven by robot controller as a percentage of nominal joint speed.
JointForce Defines the percentage of joint acceleration and deceleration values to use in statement.
AccuracyMethod Defines the zone of accuracy type to use for the position.
AccuracyValue Defines the limit used in AccuracyMethod.
