5.5.3 Creating a tool
What happens when you create a tool?
When you create a new tool a variable of the data type
tooldata
is created. The
variable name will be the name of the tool. For more information on data types,
see
Technical reference manual - RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types
.
The new tool has initial default values for mass, frame, orientation etc., which must
be defined before the tool can be used.
How to create a tool
The tool center point of the default tool (tool0) is in the center of the robot's
mounting flange and shares the orientation of the robot base.
By creating a new tool you define another tool center point. For more information
about tools and the tool center points see
