Abstract
This control system includes a machine and a tool driven and controlled by using independent coordinate systems that differ from each other, and a control device that controls at least one of the machine or tool. The control system comprises a conversion unit that converts the coordinate systems, and a storage unit that stores, in the coordinate values of a shared coordinate system shared with the machine and tool, at least one of a specific position and orientation that are not shared between the machine and tool.
Claims11
A control system, comprising a machine and a tool which are driven and controlled using independent coordinate systems which are different from each other, and a controller which controls at least one of the machine and the tool, the control system comprising:
- a conversion unit for converting coordinate systems, and
- a storage unit in which at least one of a specific position and posture not common between the machine and the tool is stored as information of a common coordinate system which is common between the machine and the tool.
A controller for controlling at least one of a machine and a tool which are driven and controlled using independent coordinate systems which are different from each other, the controller comprising:
- a conversion unit for converting coordinate systems, and
- a storage unit in which at least one of a specific position and posture not common between the machine and the tool is stored as information of a common coordinate system which is common between the machine and the tool.
An external device which can be connected to a controller for controlling at least one of a machine and a tool which are driven and controlled using independent coordinate systems which are different from each other, the external device comprising:
- a conversion unit for converting coordinate systems, and
- a storage unit in which at least one of a specific position and posture not common between the machine and the tool is stored as information of a common coordinate system which is common between the machine and the tool.
