FANUC Joint vs. Linear Motion Tuning

Feb 11, 2021

Adam Willea

Senior District Sales Manager

The video discusses the comparison between joint motion and linear motion on a robot, focusing on optimizing cycle time and path. It emphasizes the importance of discerning motion settings and uses a visual aid to explain the concepts. The demonstration includes teaching the robot to follow a rectangular path and different ways to move the robot to a taught point. The impact of fine and continuous motion on the robot's wear and tear, cycle time, and efficiency is highlighted, along with the limitations of linear motion when the robot needs to avoid self-interference. The importance of using joint motion in specific scenarios is also emphasized.
