    Dear Toby,

    I can give you an idea about softfloat option. SOFT FLOAT is used in processes to compensate for unexpected variances. Due to occurrences of these variances, Softfloat allows the robot path to be changed according to the external force to achieve the desired result. It is used in processes such as:

    • Load machine tool 
    • Unload injection moulding machines

    Two types of soft float exist : joint and cartesian

    • In Joint mode, flexibility is specified for individual axes or a combination of axes
    • In Cartesian mode, the softness is specified for Cartesian directions. In this mode, the robot will act like a spring in the specified direction.

    Hope it Helped!
