Standard Tool Coordinates
5Functions set with parameters
<A case for a horizontal 4-axis robot>
1) Sample parameter setting
Parameter name: MEXTL
Value: 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0
2) Sample Tool instruction setting
1 Tool (0,0,-10,0,0,0)
Horizontal 4-axis robots can basically
offset using parallel shifting. Note that
the orientation of the tool coordinate
system is set up differently from that
of vertical robots.
An axis element of the tool conversion data may or may not be valid depending on the robot model.
See
to set the appropriate data.

Note1)
Note1) O: Valid, X: Invalid. This is meaningless and ignored if set., X: The setting value is fixed to 0.
If a value other than 0 is set, operation may be adversely affected.
