Variable speed conveyor mode

The variable speed conveyor mode compensates for the delay in robot tracking in response to changes in conveyor speed.

It is suitable for conveyor systems where the conveyor may stop and continue is in progress while contact is made with the workpiece. For example, screw tightening applications are conceivable.

When stopping and continuing the conveyor in variable speed conveyor mode, set the limit of acceleration and deceleration after conveyor tracked and it is recommended that the operation used to determine the offset value be performed in advance. For details, see the next section, "Setting the offset value for variable speed conveyor mode".
