Teaching Positions using Align Options

The Jog command allows you to align a robot as well as end-of-arm tools and grasped components.

  1. On the PROGRAM tab, in the Manipulation group, click Jog.
  2. Select the robot you want to program.
  3. In the Jog panel, Robot section, do all of the following:
    • In Base, click the base frame you want to reference.
    • In Tool, click the tool frame (tool center point) you want to reference.
    • In Coordinates, click the coordinate system you want to reference.
