3.7.2Teaching Coordinate Data

When setting and using a coordinate system, it is necessary to teach coordinate data for giving the coordinate system.

(1) Coordinate data

Coordinate data are data for giving a new coordinate system by means of an original coordinate system.

Coordinate data are structured as follows.

(Coordinate data name) = X, Y, Z, C

Coordinate data name

: A name representing coordinate data with up to 10 characters

 

starting with an alphanumeric character.

X, Y, Z

: X, Y, and Z axis values of the zero position of the new coordinate

 

system viewed from the original coordinate system (unit: mm).

C

: Amount of rotation around axis Z between the new coordinate

 

system and the original coordinate system (unit: deg).

The new coordinate system is that the original coordinate system is horizontally moved for axes X, Y, and Z and then the original coordinate system is rotated for C around the new axis Z.

(2) Teaching coordinate data

Like position data, coordinate data are taught to individual files. There are three teaching methods; numeric value input method, one-point teaching method and two-point

teaching method.

The coordinate data are taught in the following manner.
