How to Control the Path Speeds and Motion Parameters

Toolpath Speeds

Toolpath speeds are the robot speeds during the process execution (example: during the cutting or welding process itself).

These are the speeds of the robot TCP during the MOVEL and MOVEC when approaching the toolpath first point, executing the toolpath and then leaving the toolpath last point.

Those speeds can be controlled from within the toolpath parameters into the Mastercam operation Tool tab:

Robot Speed and Motion Parameters

Robot Speeds are the robot transition speeds when in between toolpaths or leaving / returning to home position.

Those are MOVEJ (joint moves) unless converted to linear moves. Those moves are not part of toolpath (as they are a transition move in between toolpaths).

 Robot Transition speeds are managed in Robotmaster Global Settings into the Motion tab:
