Syntax
MoveC *, *, v500 \V:=550, z40 \Z:=45, grip3;
The TCP of the tool, grip3, is moved circularly to a position stored in the instruction.
The movement is carried out with data set to v500 and z40; the velocity and
zone size of the TCP are 550 mm/s and 45 mm respectively.
MoveC \Conc, *, *, v500, z40, grip3;
The TCP of the tool, grip3, is moved circularly to a position stored in the instruction.
The circle point is also stored in the instruction. Subsequent logical instructions
are executed while the robot moves.
MoveC cir1, p15, v500, z40, grip3 \WObj:=fixture;
The TCP of the tool, grip3, is moved circularly to a position, p15, via the circle
point cir1. These positions are specified in the object coordinate system for fixture.
A change of execution mode from forward to backward or vice versa, while the robot
is stopped on a circular path, is not permitted and will result in an error message.
The instruction MoveC (or any other instruction including circular movement) should
never be started from the beginning, with TCP between the circle point and the end
point. Otherwise the robot will not take the programmed path (positioning around the
circular path in another direction compared with that programmed).
Make sure that the robot can reach the circle point during program execution and divide
the circle segment if necessary.
