Configure the gear ratio as
Coupling Ratio J4:J5
and gear direction as
Coupling
Direction
on the
Offsets
tab in the
Coordinate System Properties
dialog box.
Refer to manufacturer’s manual for coupling relationship between J4 and J5 axis.
Tip:
The Coupling attributes apply only to the Delta J1J2J3J4J5 robot.
Coupling Direction
This parameter indicates the direction of the coupling between J4 and J5. There
are 3 options to choose from:
•
<none>
- No coupling relation between J4 and J5.
•
Same
- Coupling between J4 and J5 is in same direction, that is, J4 positive
rotation causes the tilt motion in the same direction of the positive J5
motion.
•
Opposite
- Coupling between J4 and J5 is in opposite direction, that is, J4
positive rotation causes the tilt motion in the opposite direction of the
positive J5 motion.
