4.6.6 Selecting coordinate system
Coordinate systems for jogging
The coordinate system most suitable for your jogging depends on many things.
See section
There are two ways to select coordinate system:
Prerequisites
Select motion mode suitable for the intended jogging.
Stationary tools in the tool coordinate system
If your robot system uses stationary tools, you must select both the proper tool
and the proper work object (held by the robot) to jog in tool coordinates.
The tool coordinate system is defined by the position and orientation of the
stationary tool and is fixed in space. To perform the intended operations you move
the work object. This way positions can be expressed in the tool coordinate system.
