Orientation angle mode (P-CHAN-00112)

P-CHAN-00112

Mode of orientation angle programming for kinematic transformations

Description

With a complete transformation, orientation about the coordinate system axes can be programmed either by using an orientation vector with the three components U, V, W or by using three rotation angles A, B, C depending on the transformation type.

Due to the additional degree of freedom provided by manual orientation, programming the rotation angles A, B, C is often the property of robot structures.

The sequence of the three rotations about the assigned rotary axes X, Y, Z leads to the required target orientation or to the target effector coordinate system. If not otherwise defined, single rotations are executed in a mathematically positive direction about the coordinate system axes which are to be reset.

The starting point is an axis sequence with the Cartesian axes X, Y, Z and the rotary axes A, B, C. The default assignment of rotations about the coordinate system axes is A -> X, B -> Y, C -> Z. This may deviate with special angle modes.

Some kinematics use special sequences of rotation which are not listed here. In this case, switching using P-CHAN-00112 is not possible. P-CHAN-00112 has no measuring with standard five-axis kinematics.

Special values can be entered in P-CHAN-00112 for Universal Kinematics (KIN-ID91).

Data range

-1: Programmed orientation axes are forwarded to kinematic transformation without any changes. Any Cartesian transformation which may be active with an active rotation has no influence on these orientation axes

3 degrees of freedom for orientation

0: YPR (Yaw Pitch Role) sequence of rotation: 1st rotation about Z (C), 2nd rotation negative about Y´ (B), 3rd rotation about X´´ (A) (default)

1: Euler, order of rotation: 1. rotation about Z (C), 2nd rotation about Y´ (B), 3. rotation about Z´´ (C)

2: CBA, similar to YPR with positive B rotation and different axis assignment. Rotation about Z (A), 2nd rotation about Y´ (B), 3rd rotation about X´´ (C).

-> A15 B-90 C20 (CBA) is identical to A20 B90 C15 (YPR).

3: CAB rotation sequence, 1st rotation about Z (C), 2nd rotation about X’ (A), 3rd rotation about Y´’ (B) (as of Build V3.1.3079.35)

4: CBA_STD, corresponds to CBA with a different axis assignment Rotation sequence: 1. rotation about Z(C), 2nd rotation about Y‘(B), 3rd rotation about X‘‘(A)
-> A15 B90 C20 (CBA_STD) is identical to A20 B90 C15 (CBA) and A15 B-90 C20 (YPR). (as of V3.1.3079.9)

5: ABC rotation sequence, 1st rotation about X (A), 2nd rotation about Y´ (B), 3rd rotation about Z´´ (C). (as of Build V3.1.3079.35)

2 degrees of freedom for orientation (cf. KIN-ID 91)

14: AB Rotation sequence: 1. rotation about X(A), 2nd rotation about Y‘ (B) (as of Build V3.1.3079.30)

15: BA Rotation sequence: 1. rotation about Y(B), 2nd rotation about X‘(A) (as of Build V3.1.3079.30) 2nd

 

Universal kinematic transformations (KIN-ID 91):

10: Point-vector programming. Tool orientation is programmed by the axes U, V, W. The vector [U, V, W] need not be normalised but neither may it be the zero vector.

11: Free programming. Not currently supported.

12: Direct programming. The configured kinematic chain is used to calculate the tool position and orientation from programmed Cartesian coordinates and angles.

13: Conformal programming. Same as direct programming but without any axis offsets, shifts or direction flags. For example, allows the programming of 45° axis positions.

14: AB programming. 15: BA programming. 16: AC programming.

17: CA programming. 18: BC programming. 19: CB programming.
