4.7.5. Coordinate conversion

 

Through this coordinate conversion function, once after teaching a program for the workpiece shown in the <Figure 1>, the program can be easily prepared for another workpiece of the same shape placed in a different position as shown in <Figure 2> without additional teaching

 

 

Figure 4.10 Coordinate conversion

 

To convert coordinates, three standard points are needed. In the original position, mark three standard points on the workpiece, and record the three points in [Program A]. After moving the workpiece to the other position, mark the same standard points in [Program B].

 

 

Figure 4.11 Coordinate conversion Program

 

By calculating Coordinate Transfer quantity from Program A and B and the standard three steps, convert the source program [Program 1] to a new one [Program 2].

 

(1)   Selection 『[F1]: Service』 → 『6: Program Conversion』 → 『5: Coordinate transfer』.

 

 

(2)   After data setup, press『[F7]: Execute』.

 

n Source program : Existing teaching program number (Program number of [Figure. 1])

 

n Target program

Program number to newly create by executing coordinate conversion (Program number of [Figure. 2])

 

n Source 3 points program

Number of a program with 3 standard points (Number of [Program A])

 

n Target 3 points program 

Program number in which the 3 points of reference for conversion are recorded ([Program B] number)

 

 

l  The teaching level regarding 3 standard points affects accuracy of a Coordinate Transfer program. Teaching the 3 standard points should be as accurate as possible.

 

l  The distance between the 3 standard points should be as far as possible.
