Change the coorditante frame reference.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to solve a visual servoing problem. I need to increment little values in the X,Y,Z directions and do the same to the orientation angles. 

The problem is: when the tool is aligned with the X-axis of the base coordinate system, increments in the X provides a forward movement (and that's ok!), but when the tool is aligned with the Y-axis of the base coordinate system, increments in X, provides lateral movements on the tool (in relation to the tool coodinante frame) and I would like that the tool movement was forward in relation to the tool coordinate system.


So, how can I change the reference coordinate system?

I hope you can clarify my doubts.

Thanks in advance,

Diego Cesar

    Hi,

    For the guys who can have the same problem, after think about my problem and read the Rapid's manual, I found a function RelTool( ) that solved my problem. So, I could use MoveL RelTool( ) to do an increment in relation of the tool coordinates. You can take a look on the Rapid Manual and see if this function figure out your specific situation.

    Thanks for all,

    Diego Cesar
