The manual, stop, automatic are three operating status of the robotic arms for injection molding machines, which the operator can choose by the switch to the top left of the hand controller. Here in this chapter we'll discuss how to operate and program the robotic arm in testing, programming, parameter setting and running it automatically.
To make the robot can run automatically correctly after power on an Origin Position Returned (ORI), driving the robot return to the home position for each axis, sucker and fixture return to the closed is needed.
In the stop mode, press the "Home" button once, then press the "Start" button to return to the home position with each axis Y1(Y2), X1(X2), Z by order. At the same time, a page box comes to remind you that you're ongoing OPR operation and all back to their origin that each electric axis position is 0.
When all axes, sucker and fixture return to the home position, there is an icon on the top right of the screen , you can operate automatic and manual mode.
You can not operate manual, automatic and modiify setting when OPR, please press the stop button or emergency stop button in case of emergency to stop the OPR.
Turn the knob to the left, the robot will go into Manual Status. As shown below:

The operation is the same as Fixture
5.3.1 Monitor Auto Running Status
Turn the knob to the right to go into the auto run page. The robot will turn to Auto Ready Status. In this status, press the start button will let the robot turn to Auto Running Status. You can monitor the running status, as shown below.
5.3.2 Adjust Running Configures
In the auto running status, you can modify the action of program configures. Just select a step and then click the edit button will show an editor dialog, after you click "OK", those data would be accepted and in the next cycle will be run according to your setting, if you press "Cancel" to cancel the operation.
To ensure that those setting won't make the robot, machine, mold damage, within 5mm range is allowed. As shown below:
After you finished, just click the OK button to confirm your change.
5.3.3 Single Step Running
On the auto running status, you can click the single button to run a step. Click again will run the next step, as so on. This feature is very useful when debug your program.
5.3.4 Speed Adjustment
