How is the robot speed calculated?

The calculation of robot speed involves the interaction between the override speed and the programmed speed, emphasizing how these two factors work together to determine the effective speed at which a robot operates. In this context, the override speed represents a scaling factor that modifies the programmed speed.

When the override speed is multiplied by the programmed speed, it allows for dynamic adjustments. For instance, if the programmed speed is set for a specific operation, the override can speed up or slow down the robot's movement based on operational needs without altering the base programming. This multipliers approach effectively calibrates the robot's motion to either enhance performance or ensure safety depending on the task requirements.

In practice, this means if an operator sets a programmed speed for a specific task and then adjusts the override, the actual speed of the robot will be the result of multiplying these two speeds together, effectively providing a versatile means of controlling and optimizing robot operations in different environments or processes.

The other options do not reflect the correct relationship in speed calculation; subtracting or dividing does not appropriately account for how these values influence each other in the context of robot motion.
