In this tutorial, you examine an event-based motion study of a welding robot.

Event-based motion requires a set of tasks. The tasks can be sequential or can overlap in time. Each task is defined by a triggering event and its associated task action. Task actions control or define motion during the task.
This motion study is set up for the following tasks:
- Task 1: Use a position sensor to stop the motion of a plate at a given location after .01 seconds.
- Tasks 2-4: Turn on three displacement servo motors. Each servo motor is set to move in one of the three spatial directions.
- Task 5: Activate the servo motors to move the robot to its welding X, Y, Z position.
- Task 6: Begin welding when the robot is in position.
- Task 7: Activate the servo motors to move the robot back to its original position.
