Coordinate system

Joint coordinate system
The joint coordinate system is determined based on all motion joints. All joints are rotating joints, and the positive rotating direction is shown in.

User coordinate system
The user coordinate system is a movable coordinate system that is used for representing equipment like fixtures, and workbenches. The origin and the orientations of axes can be defined based on the site requirements to measure point data within the workspace and arrange tasks conveniently. The default user coordinate system is determined based on the robot base, as shown in Figure 4.2.

  • X-axis: perpendicular to the base (positive direction: forward).
  • Y-axis: perpendicular to the base (positive direction: left).
  • Z axis: vertical upward according to the right-hand rule.

Tool coordinate system
The tool coordinate system defines the tool center point (TCP) and tool posture, of which the origin and orientations vary with the position and angle of the workpiece at the end of robot. The default tool coordinate system is determined based on the end of the robot, as shown in.Dobot-MG400-Robot-Arm-
Kit-Desktop-FIG-5

Home posture
The posture when all joint angles of the robot are 0 degrees is called the home posture, as shown in.

If the home point of the robot arm changes due to the replacement of the transmission parts or the collision, you can calibrate using the calibration block through the control software. See the corresponding software guide for details.

Braking time and braking angle
When the J1~J4 axes trigger an emergency stop at maximum speed, maximum load and maximum arm span, the maximum braking angle and braking time of each joint are shown in the table below.
