SRVO-116: Axis Limit Exceeded

During softfloat, one or more axes drifted past a soft limit - the yielding motion carried the robot out of bounds.

What it means

During softfloat, one or more axes drifted past a soft limit - the yielding motion carried the robot out of bounds.

Common causes

Ranked by what technicians most often find, most likely first.

  1. Softfloat compliance pushing an axis beyond its soft limit - process forces or program design leaving no margin.

How to fix it

  1. Jog the robot back within limits to resume.
  2. Adjust the program or the process so softfloat operates with margin from the limits, or (deliberately) widen the axis limits if the application justifies it.
