What does FINE termination type do at the destination position?

The FINE termination type in FANUC robotic motion control indicates that the robot should stop precisely at the destination position. This type of motion control is particularly useful for applications where accuracy is critical, as it ensures that the end effector of the robot arrives exactly at the intended location without overshooting or any residual speed.

When FINE is selected, the robot decelerates as it approaches the target, allowing for a controlled stop. This is essential in tasks such as assembly, inspection, or any application requiring the robot to pause for further action at the endpoint. Having a FINE termination guarantees that the robot maintains its performance within specified tolerances, making it a preferred choice for precise positioning.

The nature of the other options highlights different behaviors that are not applicable when using FINE. For example, speeding up at the destination would imply a lack of control and precision, while continuing to move without stopping would be counterproductive in scenarios requiring exact location attainment. A brief pause might still suggest motion rather than a complete stop, which is not the intention of the FINE setting. Thus, stopping at the destination is the defining characteristic that accurately describes the FINE termination type.
