System overview

The KeTop T10 is a machine operating device that is intended for jogging robots in an intuitive way with

„DirectMove“. DirectMove is the name for operating a robot or a machine on the basis of position detec

tion in or parallel to the pointing direction.

Compared to a conventional KeTop the KeTop T10 is equipped with a firmware for calculating the ori

entation of the device and for communication with the control, since it has a limited graphical interface.

The key benefit of the KeTop T10 is the knowledge about it’s own orientation in space. This way the Ke

Top T10 can be used for selecting desired directions of movements. Similar to show a direction to a hu

man operator using ones finger.

Although the KeTop T10 is designed for jogging robots, it can be used for any application, where it is

useful to show directions or orientation in space by using the device itself.

An integrated emergency stop and an enabling control switch make it the perfect operating device

for any machine requiring save manual operation.

The  new, intuitive way of operation together with its compact size allows the operator to concentrate on

the operated machine instead of paying attention to the operating device.

The display of the KeTop T10 is used to display the status and shows the icons setted by the application

on the control. An exception are the error codes or internal icons (e.g. compass for referencing) which

are displayed directly by the KeTop T10.
