Robot States
World State
When world state is selected, movement in the X, Y, or Z direction is parallel to an axis of
the world coordinate system. Before the speed bars will move the robot, an axis of motion
must be selected from the manual control buttons. The world coordinate system for a
SCARA robot is shown in Figure D-13. If X1 is selected, pressing the “+” speed bar will
move the robot tool flange in the positive X direction. Pressing the “–” speed bar will
move the flange in the negative X direction.

button cycles the gripper solenoids. Press anywhere on the “+” side of the speed
bar to open the gripper, on the “–” side to close the gripper.
NOTE:
This is the most common gripper setup. The gripper solenoids
may be configured so they operate differently (or they may not be
configured at all). Place your robot in a safe location and cycle the gripper
to verify which side of the speed bar opens the gripper.
