Base Container

A Base Container is a container of Frame features used as base frames.

Frames in a Base Container are listed with the behavior in the Component Graph panel and managed using a Bases element.

Properties

Name Description
Name Defines the name of the container.

Base Frame

A Frame feature used as a base frame or robot coordinate system has its own set of properties related to robotics.

Name Description
Name Defines the name of the base frame.
Transform Defines an expression for transforming the base frame, for example its position.
Node Defines the node the base frame is attached to in 3D world. Generally, this is the Robot World Frame of a robot. In other cases, this might be a node in another component such as a pallet or conveyor, or NULL meaning the frame refers to the node of its container.
InterpolationMode Defines how the base frame is used when interpolating robot positions. Generally, a base frame is used as a robot coordinate system for simplifying robot positions. However, the base frame can act like a tool frame or tool center point(TPC). One example is a stationary TCP where a robot moves around in 3D world. In that example, you might want a robot position to inherit the orientation of the tool frame or base frame.
