Syntax

SPEED value MMPS ALWAYS

Function

Specify the units for a SPEED instruction as millimeters per second.

NOTE: To specify units in inches per second, use the IPS conversion factor.

Usage Considerations

MMPS can be used only as a parameter for a SPEED program instruction.

The speed setting specified is scaled by the monitor speed in effect when the robot motion occurs.

Speeds specified with the MMPS parameter apply to straight-line motions. Joint-interpolated motions do not maintain the specified tool speed.

Details

This is an optional parameter for the SPEED program instruction, which specifies the units to be used for the speed value. That is, when MMPS is specified in a SPEED instruction, the speed value is interpreted as millimeters/second (for straight-line motions).

See the description of the SPEED program instruction for further details on setting motion speeds with the IPS conversion factor.

Example

Set the default program speed for straight-line motions to 10 millimeters per second (assuming the monitor speed is set to 100):
SPEED 10 MMPS ALWAYS
