3.5 Tool constant settings
The operations involved will be facilitated if the upward direction of the tool is set as the Z (up) direction and its
forward direction is set as the X (forward) direction since these are the directions used with the robot
coordinates. The tool angle is what defines the tool coordinate so that this is achieved. The tool angle is
referenced only by the operation direction when manual operations are
performed with the tool coordinate and
by [Service: Program Conversion: XYZ shift]. Since all other operations and the path used during
not affected in any way, the initial setting (0 degrees for all directions) may be used as is.
Since it is often difficult to measure the tool angle, the following simple setting function has been provided.
Follow the setting procedure below.
Simply setting the tool angle
On the tool constant setting screen for the
desired tool number, press the <Easy
