Tool Offset

The user can use the tool offset to link a tool with the flange of the kinematics. Unless specified otherwise in the kinematics, the flange coordinate system is defined such that the orientation of the flange coordinate system matches that of the machine coordinate system MCS, if all axes are at 0.

Extension X

X-offset of the static tool, which is mounted at the coordinate system of the flange of the higher-level transformation

mm

Extension Y

Y-offset of the static tool, which is mounted at the coordinate system of the flange of the higher-level transformation

mm

Extension Z

Z-offset of the static tool, which is mounted at the coordinate system of the flange of the higher-level transformation

Creating a tool

  1. First, a tool has to be created under the group of the kinematics.
    2. Tool Offset 1:
    Tool Offset 2:
  2. The created tool object can be allocated to the kinematics in the parameters via its tool OID.
    3. Tool Offset 3:
  3. The tool can now be configured via its object parameters.
