Teach Pendant示教器
A teach pendant is a handheld operator device used to jog a robot, record waypoints, write or edit motion programs, and monitor status during setup and troubleshooting. It appears in robot user manuals, programming instructions, operator training materials, and safety procedures, where it is distinguished from the main controller, HMI, and safety inputs; translators must keep terms such as enabling switch, jog mode, and program pointer consistent.

Where this term appears
Teach pendant appears in robot user manuals, programming guides, quick-start instructions, safety handbooks, and e-learning modules. It often occurs alongside terms like “enabling switch,” “jogging,” “teach mode,” “program step,” and “emergency stop.” Translators usually localize both the hardware name and the on-screen menu labels, so consistent terminology is critical for operator safety and for completing programming tasks.
Translation checks
A frequent error is translating “teach pendant” as “remote control” or “teaching box,” which misses its role as a safety-rated manual programming device. In safety instructions, that can soften the meaning of teach mode and enabling switch, leading operators to underestimate risks. Another mistake is treating “pendant” as a decorative “吊坠” or translating “teach” as educational teaching rather than path teaching, which confuses users in robotics UI and documentation.

Check the distinction in context
Keep the pendant control name aligned with the screen and manual. Mode selection, jogging and program execution are different actions. Preserve source prerequisites and return unclear control labels as questions rather than adding an operating sequence.
Check the returned Chinese file
Inspect the Chinese mode name on the supplied pendant screen and in the manual passage. Record any source mismatch before applying a shared term, and keep prerequisites attached to the action described in the instruction.
Prepare the connected files
Supply screenshots, manual revision and approved mode names. Agree whether interface review and manual translation are both included.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
