Basic Characteristics RAPID

VelSet Changes the programmed velocity
Example
Arguments
VelSet is used to increase or decrease the programmed velocity of all subsequent positioning
instructions. This instruction is also used to maximize the velocity.
VelSet 50, 800;
All the programmed velocities are decreased to 50% of the value in the instruction.
The TCP velocity is not, however, permitted to exceed 800 mm/s.
VelSet Override Max
Override Data type: num
Desired velocity as a percentage of programmed velocity. 100% corresponds to
the programmed velocity.
Max Data type: num
Program execution
Maximum TCP velocity in mm/s.
The programmed velocity of all subsequent positioning instructions is affected until a
new VelSet instruction is executed.
The argument Override affects:
- All velocity components (TCP, orientation, rotating and linear external axes) in
speeddata.
- The programmed velocity override in the positioning instruction (the
argument \V).
- Timed movements.
The argument Override does not affect:
- The welding speed in welddata.
- The heating and filling speed in seamdata.
The argument Max only affects the velocity of the TCP.
