Aligning Tools - ABB IRC5 with FlexPendant Operating Manual

4.6.10 Aligning tools

Overview
A tool can be aligned with another coordinate system.
When aligning a tool, the tool's z axis is aligned to the selected coordinate system's
nearest axis. Therefore it is recommended to first jog the tool so it is close to the
desired coordinates.
Note that the tool's data is not changed!
