Which speed setting is used for fine, slow movement?

• A. Slow
• B. Normal
• C. Fast
• D. Inching

Answer: (D)

For precise, fine positioning you use inching. It moves the robot in tiny, controlled increments, so you can nudge the end effector just a small amount at a time and watch for exact alignment. This is essential during setup, teaching, or when placing a tool or part with tight tolerances, where a larger move could overshoot the target. Other speeds are faster and can’t provide that careful, incremental control: slow is still a broader pace, normal is the standard production speed, and fast moves quickly and risks overshoot. Inching is specifically designed for careful micro-adjustments needed to hit the exact position.
