5.7 About Standard Base Coordinates
When shifting the robot origin to a position other than the center position of the J1 axis of the robot, the con-
version is performed using the base coordinate system. The setting will be done from the following two
points. When base data is changed, the coordinates of teaching positions will be values based on the base
coordinate system.
1) Set in the MEXTL parameter.
2) Set in the robot program using the Base instruction.
The factory default setting value is set to zero at the base coordinate system position, which is identical to
the robot origin.
Structure of base coordinate system data: X, Y, Z, A, B, and C
X, Y and Z axis : The position of robot coordinate system from the base coordinate system origin
A axis : X-axis rotation in the base coordinate system
B axis : Y-axis rotation in the base coordinate system
C axis : Z-axis rotation in the base coordinate system
(Example)
1) Sample parameter setting
Parameter name: MEXBS
ValueÅF100,150,0,0,0,-30
2) Sample Base instruction setting
1 Base (100,150,0,0,0,-30)
Normally, the base coordinate system
need not be changed. If you wish to
change it, see the sample above when
configuring the system. Note that the
Base instruction within the robot pro-
gram may shift the robot to an unex-
pected position. Exercise caution when
executing the instruction.
An axis element of the base conversion data may or may not be valid depending on the robot model.
See
to set the appropriate data.
