10-8. TCP adjust
10-8-1. What is TCP adjust
It is a function to set the calculated tool offset value by inputing the specific tool positions at the tool cente point (TCP).It is
necessary to teach six tool positions (3 positions each for X-Z plane and X-Y plane).
<Note>
•
Please prepare an adjustment jig that can
specify a single position.
•
Please note that as this function does not
calculate the TW value (Tool mounting
angle), it is necessary to set the correct TW
value previously.
•
As for the second position, set the tool so
that the direction of the adjustment jig used
for the first position and the TW rotation
center match.
