6.3 User Frames
User Frame is a user-defined frame. Instead of specifying positions
relative to the World or Robot Frames, user can specify positions relative
to an object in their workcell such as a work surface, pallet, or conveyor.
The manipulator moves parallel to each axis of the user-defined frame.
The user defines the X, Y, and Z axes with the desired slopes and
positions available within the manipulator’s motion range.
6.3.1 Example Usage of User Frames
– When two or more fixtures are used, manual operation is simplified
by setting the user frames for each fixture.
– When performing arranging or stacking operations, the incremental
value for the parallel shift is easily set by setting the user frame on a
pallet.
– When the position of a pallet moves, all points relative to a pallet can
be moved simply by re-teaching the User Frame.
– When multiple pallets have the same part pattern, user can teach
points on one pallet and then switch them to another by changing
the User Frame.
