Target n Path
In order to move correctly , robot need to know where the target to be achieved
and which coordinate system to be used. (target always have a reference)

BASE COORDINATE SYSTEM

§ The base coordinate system has it


zero point in the base of the robot,
which makes movement predictable
for fixed mounted robots.

TOOL - TCP COORDINATE SYSTEM

§ The tool coordinate system has its zero position at the center of the tool.
It thereby defines the position and the orientation of the tool. The tool
coordinate system abbreviated to TCP (Tool Centre Point) or TCPF (Tool
Centre Point Frame).

TOOL - TCP COORDINATE SYSTEM
Creating a tool
§ The tool center point of the default tool (tool0) is in the center of the robot’s
mounting flange and with the mounting flange’s orientation.
§ By creating a tool, you can define another tool center point.

WORK OBJECT COORDINATE SYSTEM
§ The work object coordinate system corresponds to the work piece:
It defines the placement of the work piece in relation to the world
coordinate system (or any other coordinate system).
Axis Configuration

A B C

When the controller calculates the position of the robot axes for
reaching the target, it will often find more than one possible solution
to configuring the robot axes

the robot cannot move from one configuration to the other
