INTERFACE IAxisMoveCurrent

Some drives support to continuously power an axis with a constant current. If there is nothing blocking the axis, this will cause the axis to accelerate into its positive or negative direction, depending on the sign of the current.

However, when the axis is blocked by an obstactle, this method can be used to apply a constant, uncalibrated force or torque (depending on the axis configuration) to the obstacle. Note that the actual force or torque, respectively, that is applied may also heavily depend on friction and other parameters. Submitting a contant force with this method, while sometimes useful, is kinda heuristic.
