Robot¶
The tomography instrument is using a Universal Robots e-Series for sample loading and unloading.
Coordinate System¶
The Base coordinate system is a Right-hand coordinate system, where Y is into the robot cable and Z-axis upwards through the centre of the Base joint.
The Tool coordinate system is a Right-hand coordinate system, where Y is away from the Tool connector, and Z is normal to the tool flange.
The Tool offsed will shift the Tool coordinate system as shown.
