This mode became non-standard in the US several years ago, but it allows you to test-run programs with the teach pendant at full speed.

If your robot has T2, you probably have an older robot or you’re outside the US. T1 limits the tool center point (TCP) speed to a nice and safe 250mm/sec. T1 and T2 are for teaching and testing the robot. NOTE: If you like this post and are interested in the programming side of things, be sure to check out my book on programming FANUC robots. For your (and my own) reference, here’s a quick no-BS guide on how to get things running. Local, UOP signals and the different startup types available (RSR, PNS, Style, Other). If you’re like me, you sometimes forget the details on Remote vs. You’ve finished programming your robot, tested it in T1, and now you want to run it faster.
