Examples are valid for:<\/p>\n

TMflow Software version: 2.22.2400 or later.<\/p>\n

TM Robot Hardware version: HW5.02 or later only<\/span><\/p>\n

Other specific requirements: Refer to Preparation<\/strong> section below.<\/p>\n

Note1: that older or newer software versions may have different results.<\/p>\n

Note2: TM does not provide the hardware of AUX. System integrators should prepare their own hardware.<\/p>\n

Note3: \u00a0the AUX functions work on real a cobot and positioner, not in the \u00a0TMflow simulator.<\/p>\n

\n

Goal<\/h1>\n

This tutorial is designed for system integrators to guide them in integrating their own external positioner (1-axis or 2-axis, referred to as AUX in this article) with a TM cobot for synchronized motion control. An external positioner is particularly valuable in applications such as welding or dispensing.<\/p>\n
