KIN_TYP_213- Five-axis palletising robot
The articulated axes are 1,2,3,4,5. Axis 1 rotates about the z axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. The robot is represented in Figure 2 with all articulated axes in zero position.
![]() | Functionality available as of CNC Build V3.1.3081 or V3.1.3108. |
Rotation in positive direction corresponds to the mathematically positive direction of rotation in the Cartesian coordinate system. Articulated axes G2, G3, G4 must be configured as linear axes (with a limited range of motion).
Articulated axis G5 must be configured as a modulo axis within the range of -180° to +180°. Optionally, articulated axis G1 can be configured as a linear or a modulo axis, provided no limitations need to be considered, e.g. trailing cables.
![]() | When programming in Cartesian coordinates, the flange must first be aligned parallel to the X/Y plane of the base coordinate system (B=0). Only then will programming the C angle result in the expected alignment of the flange/tool. However, if the robot is operated with B ≠ 0, the resulting motion may not correspond to the expected orientation. |
![]() | In this kinematic model, the programmed tool orientation normally relates to the Cartesian base coordinate system of the machine. |
