TCP (tool center point)
The tool position of an industrial robot is described through what is known as its TCP (tool center
point). This is the imagined reference point located at a suitable place on the tool, precisely where
the tip of the welding wire would touch the workpiece if a predefined distance (stick-out length of
the welding wire) from the base surface of the gas nozzle is used. All programmed positions of the
robot relate to the TCP.
