I’m using Universal Robot version 5.12, and when manually operating the jog for teaching, the robot often continues to move a bit even after I’ve released the button. Also, sometimes there’s lag and the response becomes slow. Does anyone know about this issue?
Hi @khc,
Welcome to the UR forum🦾
The issue is due to the Java Swing Event Dispatching Thread is busy. A lot of things con contribute to that including 3rd party URCaps.
For accurate trimming you way points. You can consider using this URCap:
Source: GitHub - UniversalRobots/MyToolbarJog: Example of using the toolbar to incrementally jog the robot in Cartesian space by sending urscript over the primary client interface
Binary: https://github.com/UniversalRobots/MyToolbarJog/releases/download/v1.0.1/mytoolbarjog-1.0.1.urcap
Hope that bring you a step forward🤞

@Ebbe Thank you for your response.
Does continuous jogging put a significant load on the UR controller? Then, would inputting numerical values for movement rather than using the jog buttons help reduce this lag?
You are welcome!
The numerical value will make the URControl process in charge of the timing and not the Java GUI. That means you will hit the target within the specifications that the robot have.
