Transformation FB for polar kinematics.

A Polar Systems consists of one distance and one direction axis.

Machine coordinate system (MCS)

Origin

Location of the TCP when the position value of the linear axis (a1) is 0.

X

The X axis is defined so that a positive velocity of the linear axis (a1) while the rotary axis (a0) is at 0° leads to a movement purely along the X axis in positive direction.

Y

The Y axis is defined so that a positive velocity of the linear axis (a1) while the rotary axis (a0) is at 90° leads to a movement purely along the Y axis in positive direction.

The location of the tool coordinate system (TCS) relative to the MCS in zero position:

Tool coordinate system (TCS)

Origin

Relative to MCS:

dX = 0

dY = 0

dZ = 0

X

Along the X-Axis of the MCS in positive direction

Y

Along the Y-Axis of the MCS in positive direction

Z

Along the Z-Axis of the MCS in positive direction

The single axes values have the following interpretation:

a0

position of the rotary axis around Z in degrees. referred to as ‘C’ in the section ‘mapping to axes’ .

a1

position of the linear axis in the direction of X axis (>= 0). referred to as ‘R’ in the section ‘mapping to axes’.

Note

  • This position kinematics does not support orientation mode “Axis” for CP movements.

  • If this kinematics is used without an orientation-kinematics, then it is not compatible with tools (see SMC_GroupSetTool) that have a position offset in a direction other than the Z direction.
