Hello all,
     I am working as robotic simulation engineer. 
     I have doubt regarding robot base frame and tool frame.
     In industrial six axis robot programming we use robot tool frame and base frame. basally what is the purpose of the both in robot programming. 
     when we teach a location from where it will calculate the coordinate values.

    Unless you have added the optional argument  'workobject' to the move instruction it will use the base frame.

    By default tool0 is used as the tool frame, but you should change this (in the move instruction) to use the tool that you have setup to represent the real tool - as this will have the correct mass, center of gravity, etc of the tool defined.
