MCS position

  • z-axis points upwards.
  • x-axis points in the direction of the end effector.
  • z-axis corresponds to the linear axis A1.
  • The origin of the coordinate system is on a level with the rotary axis A2.

TCS position

  • Z axis in direction of impact of the robot Aligned opposite to z MCS .
  • In zero position, x TCS and x MCS are parallel.
  • The origin of the TCS lies on the drive axis A4.

Zero position of the drives

  • In the zero position of all drives, the upper arm of the robot is horizontal and the end effector is at the position
  • x = A2Off +A3Off + L2 + A4Off.
  • z = 0
  • z = L1

Elbow

If the standard value Elbow is selected, the drive motor of elbow axis A3 is mounted in the elbow joint. The illustration above corresponds to this setting.

1

Shoulder

If the value Shoulder is selected, an alternative mechanical version is used for transformation. Here, the drive motor of elbow axis A3 on the robot basis is mounted coaxially to shoulder joint A2. The movement of the motor is transmitted to arm L2 through parallel motion.
