MoveL Moves the robot linearly<br />

Example<br />

Arguments<br />

MoveL is used to move the tool centre point (TCP) linearly to a given destination.<br />

When the TCP is to remain stationary, this instruction can also be used to reorient the<br />

tool.<br />

MoveL p1, v1000, z30, tool2;<br />

The TCP of the tool, tool2, is moved linearly to the position p1, with speed data<br />

v1000 and zone data z30.<br />

MoveL *, v1000\T:=5, fine, grip3;<br />

The TCP of the tool, grip3, is moved linearly to a fine point stored in the instruction<br />

(marked with an *). The complete movement takes 5 seconds.<br />

MoveL [ \Conc ] ToPoint Speed [ \V ] | [ \T ] Zone [ \Z ] Tool<br />

[ \WObj ]<br />

[ \Conc ] (Concurrent) Data type: switch<br />

Subsequent logical instructions are executed while the robot is moving. This<br />

argument is used to shorten the cycle time when, for example, communicating<br />

with external equipment, if synchronisation is not required.<br />

Using the argument \Conc, the number of movement instructions in succession<br />

is limited to 5. In a program section that includes StorePath-RestoPath, movement<br />

instructions with the argument \Conc are not permitted.<br />

If this argument is omitted, the subsequent instruction is only executed after the<br />

robot has reached the specified zone.<br />

ToPoint Data type: robtarget<br />

The destination point of the robot and external axes. It is defined as a named<br />

position or stored directly in the instruction (marked with an * in the instruction).<br />

Speed Data type: speeddata<br />

The speed data that applies to movements. Speed data defines the velocity for the<br />

tool centre point, the tool reorientation and external axes.<br />

[ \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 />
