Coordinate Frame Object

Coordinate Frame Objects can be used to hierarchically build up geometrical translation and rotation relationships. For straight interpretation the x-direction of the final element within the hierarchy should point into the conveying direction.

Parameter

Description

Unit

Rotation Convention

Convention used for the calculation of rotations. Default is DIN9300 Z”Y’X where Rotation 3 is the parameter for Z”, Rotation 2 is the parameter for Y’ and Rotation 1 is the parameter for X.

 

Definition Direction

Indicates the direction in which the displacement is programmed (from the point of view of the reference system or the MCS).

 

Translation X

Translation in the x-axis direction.

mm

Translation Y

Translation in the y-axis direction.

mm

Translation Z

Translation in the z-axis direction.

mm

Rotation 1

Rotation axis is defined by the Rotation Convention.

°

Rotation 2

Rotation axis is defined by the Rotation Convention.

°

Rotation 3

Rotation axis is defined by the Rotation Convention.
