Which position of the 3 position Deadman switch allows you to jog the robot?

The middle position of the 3-position Deadman switch is specifically designed to enable operation while jogging the robot. This switch mechanism ensures that the robot can be jogged only when the operator actively holds the switch in that position, which adds a layer of safety by requiring continuous manual pressure to maintain motion. If the switch is released or moved to either the left or right positions, the robot will stop moving. This design is crucial for preventing unintended robot motion, as it mandates that the operator is fully engaged while controlling the robot's movements.

The other positions either disengage the controls or serve different functional roles within the robot's operation. The middle position, therefore, is the only one that allows for safe and intentional jogging of the robot.
