Examples of User Coordinate Utilization
The user coordinate settings allow easy teaching in various situations. For example:
• When multiple positioners are used,
manual operation can be simplified by setting the user coordinates for each fixture.
• When performing arranging or stacking operations,
the incremental value for shift can be easily programmed by setting user coordinates on a
pallet.
• When performing conveyor tracking operations,
the moving direction of the conveyor is specified.
