Line 1: == '''What is a Tool Frame?''' == The robot is a collection of axes that each have a specific range of motion and distance from one another. The processor calculates the position of the robot’s Tool Center Point (TCP) by the angle of each axis and the known distance to the next. By default, FANUC robots calculate position in the real world by the center of the plate on the end of the last actuator. When you attach a tool, you must tell the robot where the effective end of the tool is, relative to the tool center plate. This can be done through direct entry of measurements taken from the TCP but the FANUC software includes useful utilities for automatically calculating a new tool center point with minimal effort.
