There are three types of guide movement: jog, inching and free.
In the jog mode, the robot will move in the specified direction at the specified speed in the
specified coordinate system for as long as you hold down the corresponding guide key. The jog
mode is useful for rough positioning of the robot to get it near the target position.
In the inching mode, the robot will move in the specified direction at the specified displacement in
the specified coordinate system. The inching mode is useful for fine positioning of the robot near
the target position.
In the free mode, you may release the servo lock on the desired axes and move around the robot
by hand. The free mode is useful for fine positioning of the robot near workpieces and oth er
such objects.
