KEBA KeTop T10 directMove Operate robots easily and quickly with intuitive gestures

The innovative KeTop T10 directMove handheld unit heralds

the beginning of a new era in mobile robot operation. This

revolutionary type of intuitive teach-in supersedes complex

abstraction and complicated thought processes in coor

dinate systems. It is simpler and more efficient – both for

experienced operators as well as for new users. The time

required and the associated costs are minimized conside

rably, and operational errors are reduced effectively.

directMove - Show the robot the way

Using the inertial sensors of the 6D Inertial Measurement Unit

(6D IMU), the KeTop T10 directMove detects its position and

direction in the three-dimensional space. The operator can

therefore easily specify the required movement or rotation by

indicating in the direction of motion and then operating a small

joystick – regardless of his/her position relative to the robot.

This means that no in-depth knowledge of coordinate systems

is required. The motion speed can be changed via the intensi

ty of the joystick movements. This means that individual path

points can be set and finely adjusted using the KeTop T10 di

rectMove. If required, standard operating units and screen de

vices such as notebooks can also be used for programming.

New opportunities

Even companies without the relevant experts on hand, who may

previously have dispensed with robots in production process,

can now feel confident in acquiring such systems. Thanks to the

KeTop T10 directMove the teach-in of the kinematics is possib

le with minimal time required for training and familiarisation. For

example, in service robotics where heavy loads are moved and

complex coordinate systems are built upon each other, a teach

in is tricky to implement. But the KeTop T10 directMove offers a

very noticeable increase in ease of operation.

Flexibility with 4 operating modes

The user has four operating modes available. It is possible to

switch between these modes very simply as required. A 1.5"

color display indicates the active mode using icons.

directMove mode: The robot follows the direction instruc

tions from the KeTop T10 directMove completely freely in the

space.

snap2grid mode: Use of defined coordinate systems as re

ference directions for the KeTop T10 directMove for precisely

directed movements of the robot.

virtual handle mode: The KeTop T10 directMove acts as

a virtual handle on the Tool Center Point (TCP) to change its

alignment quickly and easily.

axial movement mode: or the direct movement of individual

robot axes as with a conventional handheld unit.

Maximum operational safety

Emergency stop and 3-position enabling switch guarantee

the same high safety standard as with traditional hand-held

units. In addition, special safety functions which can be exe

cuted on any control prevent the robot following rapid, acci

dental movements of the KeTop T10 directMove. Excessively

fast moved robot joints are locked.
