2.4.7 Motion at Robot TCP
For motion at the TCP (Tool Center Point), the manipulator’s posture can
be modified without changing the position of the tool’s tip (TCP). The
motion at TCP is available in the World Coordinate Frame, Tool
Coordinate Frame, and User Coordinate Frame.
The motion of each axis is described in the table below.
Turning of each wrist axis differs in each coordinate system.
– In World Frame, wrist axis rotations are based on the X, Y, and Z
axes of the manipulator.

changes with the TCP fixed.
The tool’s posture changes
around the axes of the
specified coordinates.
