# Summary I want to set lower speed value than 160 mm/s to Tool Speed in case of Reduced Mode. # What is it? When I set a value to Tool Speed in case of Reduced Mode, minimum value is defined as 160 mm/s as below, so I can’t do it. For example, I wanna set 10 mm/s to it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/universal_robots/original/2X/4/428f7c2c7fee54c745f693799399b1d4b3ec6e94.jpeg) # Why is it needed? From a safety perspective, 160 mm/s is still considered a high speed, particularly when a UR robot handles sharp objects at its tool point. (Even when operating in Reduced Mode, a sharp object impacting a person can result in injury.) ---

I would like to argue you should use the safeguard inputs instead of reduced mode if you’re handling sharp objects in the tool. 🙂 That will stop the robot completely while off, but it will resume by itself after the safeguard is enabled again. However, there’s no reason to limit it to 160 mm/s nevertheless.
