Would like to simulate a fettling application on robot studio. A?Component is held with a gripper on the robot. A?Tool is stationed on a pedestal. I need to define TCP stationary on the tool. Can anybody explain the step by step procedure please.

Hi,

Check the Technical reference manual - Rapid instructions, functions, and data types.

Look under tool data. 😉

Hi again,

The Operating manual - IRC5 with flexpendant has a step by step guide (using the flexpendant) under programing and testing then the tools chapter.
