KUKA Robot KRC0222 - CP VEL. REDUCTION POINT ** ** BY **

CP VEL. REDUCTION POINT ** ** BY **

This alarm indicates that the robot's circular path (CP) velocity has been automatically reduced at a specific point during motion execution. The reduction occurs when the controller detects a condition requiring speed limitation to maintain safe or compliant operation, such as workspace boundaries, singularities, or joint velocity limits being approached.

Common Causes

  • Circular path velocity exceeds maximum allowable speed for the current configuration or workspace area
  • Robot approaching joint limits or singularity zones that require velocity reduction for safe interpolation
  • Acceleration/deceleration limits being exceeded during circular motion execution
  • Active soft limits or virtual boundaries programmed in the robot's work envelope restricting velocity
  • Insufficient path radius or curve geometry requiring reduced velocity to maintain accuracy

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. 1Review the robot program at the point where the alarm occurs and check the CP velocity parameter (V_REL or absolute velocity setting)
  2. 2Reduce the programmed velocity value in the affected motion command and re-test the path execution
  3. 3Verify the circular path radius and geometry are sufficient for the current velocity; increase radius if possible or reduce speed accordingly
  4. 4Check the robot's current configuration and ensure the path does not approach singularities or joint limits; adjust trajectory if needed
  5. 5Examine soft limits and workspace boundary settings in the robot's system parameters; adjust if overly restrictive
  6. 6Confirm acceleration/deceleration values (ACC) are appropriate for the velocity and path geometry; increase if excessive reduction is occurring
