Features

Direct control

  • Jog Pose.

    Control the pose of the robot in position and orientation. The arrows show the direction of the translation and rotation command to apply to the robot’s pose. You can adjust the command speed.

  • Jog Joints.

    Control the joints of the robot in orientation. The arrows show the direction of the rotation command to apply to a joint. You can adjust the command speed.

State and 3D View

  • Frames visualization.

    Visualize the TCP and the robot base frames. You can select which frames you want to display.

Programming

  • Try Except block in Logic group.

    The function will try to run what is inside of it. A number of attempts can be set to repeat the operation if the robot failed to do it. You can set the function to continue or stop the program if the attempts do not succeed.

  • Linear and Try Linear in Move Pose block, in Movement group.

    Linear function makes the robot move linearly. Try Linear function makes the robot move linearly but if no linear trajectory can be computed, it will do a Standard movement.

  • Linear and Try Linear in Shift pose block, in Movement group.

    Linear function makes the robot do a translation movement linearly. Try linear makes the robot do a translation movement linearly but if no linear trajectory can be computed, it will do a Standard movement.

  • Move Trajectory function in Movement group.

    This function builds a trajectory by giving it waypoints. The robot will try to reach way points in the given order. The distance smoothing parameter defines the distance from which the trajectory will be smoothed around each way point.

  • Set TCP block in Tool group.

    This function changes the TCP (Tool Center Point) coordinates of the robot. TCP coordinates are used with Pose-type movements.

  • Activate/Deactivate TCP block in Tool group.

    This function activates or deactivates TCP coordinates. When activated, TCP coordinates are defined by the user. When deactivated, the TCP coordinates are equal to the final point of the robot’s arm.

Settings

  • Angles unit selection.

    Angles unit selection between degree and radian from the top bar.

  • Setup TCP coordinates from Robot’s settings view.

    Change TCP (Tool Center Point) coordinates. TCP coordinates are used as references for Pose movements. Activate TCP allows the modification of the TCP coordinates. Scan will check if a tool is attached to the arm and will update the TCP coordinates according to the connected tool. Reset will reset the TCP coordinates to the actual tool (0 if no tool). You can manually modify the TCP coordinates by writing your orientation and translation. Click Apply to apply the new coordinates.

Saved positions

  • Play position

    Move to the desired position from position list by clicking on the Play button.

Vision set

  • Camera’s settings

    Brightness, saturation and contrast adjustments for the camera.

Improvements

Programming

  • Graphical improvement of save program function in the Blockly program view.
  • Graphical improvement of Load program from robot function in the Blockly program view.
  • Remove Clear workspace in the Blockly program view.
  • Graphical improvement of Add position function in the Blockly program view.
