is active (moving) tool coordinate point possible?

Hi,

I created a tool mechanism. A part of the tool does rotational movement. I want to assign a tool coordinate point at this rotational part. Is it possible that the tool coordinate point also moves with rotational part of the tool?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

No that is not possible. The Tool Center Point (TCP) must be static. Because when the path(s) are synchronized to the Virtual Controller the tooldata defined in your tool mechanism will be used to declare the tooldata in the RAPID code, therefor it must be a fixed value.
