Description

P-CHAN-00112

Mode of orientation angle programming for kinematic transformations

Description

With a complete transformation, orientation about the coordinate system axes can be programmed either by using an orientation vector with the three components U, V, W or by using three rotation angles A, B, C depending on the transformation type.

Due to the additional degree of freedom provided by manual orientation, programming the rotation angles A, B, C is often the property of robot structures.

The sequence of the three rotations about the assigned rotary axes X, Y, Z leads to the required target orientation or to the target effector coordinate system. If not otherwise defined, single rotations are executed in a mathematically positive direction about the coordinate system axes which are to be reset.

The starting point is an axis sequence with the Cartesian axes X, Y, Z and the rotary axes A, B, C. The default assignment of rotations about the coordinate system axes is A -> X, B -> Y, C -> Z. This may deviate with special angle modes.

Some kinematics use special sequences of rotation which are not listed here. In this case, switching using P-CHAN-00112 is not possible. P-CHAN-00112 has no measuring with standard five-axis kinematics.

Special values can be entered in P-CHAN-00112 for Universal Kinematics (KIN-ID91).

Universal kinematic transformations (KIN-ID 91):

10: Point-vector programming. Tool orientation is programmed by the axes U, V, W. The vector [U, V, W] need not be normalised but neither may it be the zero vector.

11: Free programming. Not currently supported.

12: Direct programming. The configured kinematic chain is used to calculate the tool position and orientation from programmed Cartesian coordinates and angles.

13: Conformal programming. Same as direct programming but without any axis offsets, shifts or direction flags. For example, allows the programming of 45° axis positions.

14: AB programming. 15: BA programming. 16: AC programming.

17: CA programming. 18: BC programming. 19: CB programming.
