MOVE_LIN
The MOVE_LIN node linearly moves the robot's tool to an absolute Cartesian position.Inputs
------
ip_address: TextBlob
The IP address of the robot arm.
Parameters
------
x : float
The x coordinate of the position to move to
y : float
The y coordinate of the position to move to
z : float
The z coordinate of the position to move to
alpha : float, optional
The alpha coordinate (rotation in radians about the x axis) of the position to move to.
beta : float, optional
The beta coordinate (rotation in radians about the y axis) of the position to move to.
gamma : float, optional
The gamma coordinate (rotation in radians about the z axis) of the position to move to.Params:Returns:out : ip_addressThe IP address of the robot arm.

In this example, the MOVE_LIN
node moves the robot arm in a straight line to a specified Cartesian position.
The node takes in the x, y, and z coordinates, along with optional alpha, beta, and gamma rotations in radians.
After initiating the linear movement, the node waits for the robot arm to become idle, indicating that the movement is complete.
The MOVE_LIN
node is useful in workflows where linear movements are required, such as drawing a straight line or moving from one point to another in a straight path.
