How do I set the Origin of my robot Through the MRC Software ?

When the setup of the robot is completed, the origin of the user coordinate system 1 is applied. If the origin of the user coordinate system is set, the origin of the robot can be changed to a desired position. When high-speed returnto-origin operation is performed with a robot other than a Cartesian robot, set the origin of the user coordinate system. Otherwise, high-speed return-to-origin operation cannot be executed. Up to three user coordinate systems can be set. When using multiple user coordinate systems, set the origin for each.

Before operating a robot, check the condition of the surrounding area to ensure safety.

1. Click the [Communication] icon on the toolbar to set communication to an ON state (online state). Communication is started with the controller.

2. Click the [Teaching] icon on the toolbar. The teaching screen appears.

3. Using JOG operation or inching operation, operate the robot until the TCP reaches a position where the origin is desired to set.

Just in case the origin is changed by mistake or the controller is replaced due to maintenance, keep the information of the present position that is desired to set as the origin.

4. Check that the present coordinate system is one of user coordinate system 1 to user coordinate system 3. The present coordinate system can be changed by “Changing coordinate system.”

5. Click [Origin setting], and then click [Set TCP to origin]. The origin is set and the values of X, Y, and Z at the present position change to zero.

•The origin is written to the non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory can be rewritten approximately 100,000 times.

• The origin having set can be checked using the origin offsets of the robot information monitor.

• The origin can be set only when the present coordinate system is the user coordinate system.
