MANUAL FCTNS TOOL ADJUST SCREEN


MANUAL FCTNS TOOL ADJUST SCREEN

The tool frame adjust option allows you to modify the tool frame to compensate for an End of Arm Tooling (EOAT) that has been bent or misaligned due to a crash. If the tool center points are bent but are still usable, you can adjust the tool frame to accommodate the change in TCP and run the program without having to re-record all of the positions in your program.

If the tool becomes damaged at any time after you have defined the reference position, you can use the tool frame adjust option to adjust the positions in the program to compensate for the damaged tool.
