Manual mode for orientation axes with robot kinematics

The #MANUAL [ORI_MODE=..] command can be used to define how motions of the orientation axes are interpreted in manual mode for robots.

Syntax:

#MANUAL [ORI_MODE =.. ]

 

ORI_MODE =..

ROT_WORLD_CS_AXES: Rotation about the axes of global world coordinate axes (default)

ROT_ACT_CS_AXES: Rotation about the axes of the current tool coordinate system

ADD_ANGLE_IN_ACT_CS: Motions are interpreted as direct changes to the Euler angle in the currently selected coordinate system

The setting is saved global and is not reset when the system is restarted.

A change is only permitted when manual mode is deactivated.

Comparison of individual interpretations

The starting point for comparing the interpretations of the orientation axis motions is shown in the robot diagram below.

Settings for manual mode (# MANUAL) 1:

#MANUAL [ORI_MODE = ROT_WORLD_CS_AXES]

Settings for manual mode (# MANUAL) 2:

In this mode, the orientations of the coordinate system at the tool tip are identical to those at the robot base.

#MANUAL [ORI_MODE = ROT_ACT_CS_AXES]

Settings for manual mode (# MANUAL) 3:

 

 

#MANUAL [ORI_MODE = ADD_ANGLE_IN_ACT_CS]

The example shows the rotation sequence ABC.

Settings for manual mode (# MANUAL) 4:
