[ \V ] (Velocity) Data type: num<br />

This argument is used to specify the velocity of the TCP in mm/s directly in the<br />

instruction. It is then substituted for the corresponding velocity specified in the<br />

speed data.<br />

[ \T ] (Time) Data type: num<br />

This argument is used to specify the total time in seconds during which the robot<br />

moves. It is then substituted for the corresponding speed data.<br />

Zone Data type: zonedata<br />

Zone data for the movement. Zone data describes the size of the generated corner<br />

path.<br />

[ \Z ] (Zone) Data type: num<br />

This argument is used to specify the position accuracy of the robot TCP directly<br />

in the instruction. The length of the corner path is given in mm, which is substituted<br />

for the corresponding zone specified in the zone data.<br />

Tool Data type: tooldata<br />

The tool in use when the robot moves. The tool centre point is the point moved<br />

to the specified destination point.<br />

[ \WObj] (Work Object) Data type: wobjdata<br />

Program execution<br />

The work object (coordinate system) to which the robot position in the instruction<br />

is related.<br />

This argument can be omitted, and if it is, the position is related to the world coordinate<br />

system. If, on the other hand, a stationary TCP or coordinated external<br />

axes are used, this argument must be specified.<br />

The tool centre point is moved to the destination point with interpolation of the axis<br />

angles. This means that each axis is moved with constant axis velocity and that all axes<br />

reach the destination point at the same time, which results in a non-linear path.<br />

Generally speaking, the TCP is moved at the approximate programmed velocity<br />

(regardless of whether or not the external axes are coordinated). The tool is reoriented<br />

and the external axes are moved at the same time as the TCP moves. If the programmed<br />

velocity for reorientation, or for the external axes, cannot be attained, the velocity of<br />

the TCP will be reduced.<br />

A corner path is usually generated when movement is transferred to the next section of<br />

the path. If a stop point is specified in the zone data, program execution only continues<br />

when the robot and external axes have reached the appropriate position.<br />
