What is the primary purpose of TEACH mode on the FANUC Teach Pendant?

• A. To record and edit robot motion programs and teach positions.
• B. To monitor the robot's power and status indicators.
• C. To run diagnostic tests only.
• D. To execute preloaded routines without modification.

Answer: (A)

TEACH mode is where you create and refine how the robot moves by teaching positions and paths. In this mode you move the robot to a target pose using the jog controls, then save that pose as a waypoint or include multiple waypoints to form a motion program. You can also edit the program, adjust the order of moves, or change the tool orientation at each step, allowing precise, repeatable tasks created by demonstration rather than by typing in coordinates alone. The other options describe tasks outside of teaching and programming—checking power and status, running only diagnostics, or executing preloaded routines without modification—which are not about teaching new positions or assembling a new program.
