4 coordinate system and motion naming principles
4.1 Right hand coordinate system
All coordinate systems described in this standard are determined by orthogonal right-hand rules, see Figure 1.
Figure 1 Right hand coordinate system
4.2 Mobile
The movement along the X, Y, and Z axes is expressed as follows.
Or -X along the X axis;
Or -Y along the Y axis;
Or -Z along the Z axis.
4.3 Turning

Or -A around the X axis;
Or -B around the Y axis;
Or -C around the Z axis;
A, B, and C are also referred to as the slewing angle, the pitch angle, and the yaw angle, respectively.
The positive directions of A, B, and C are positive in the direction in which the right-handed spiral advances in the positive direction of X, Y, and Z, respectively (see Figure 2).
The general rotation is expressed by a combination of independent rotations.

A --- swivel angle;
B --- pitch angle;
C --- deflection angle.

4.4 The principle of naming the operating shaft
If the axis is defined by a number, the first axis of motion next to the mounting surface of the base should be axis 1, and the second axis of motion should be axis 2, in turn
Push, and the axis m is the axis of motion that is coupled to the mechanical interface.
Note. See Appendix A for an example.
5 coordinate system
5.1 Absolute coordinate system O0-X0-Y0-Z0
The origin O0 of the absolute coordinate system should be determined by the user as needed. The Z0 axis is collinear with the gravity acceleration vector, but its direction
anti. The direction of the X0 axis should be determined by the user as needed (see Figure 3).
5.2 Base coordinate system O1-X1-Y1-Z1
The origin O1 of the base coordinate system shall be specified by the robot manufacturer. The positive direction of the Z1 axis, perpendicular to the mounting surface of the robot base, refers to
Direction to its mechanical structure. The direction of the X1 axis is from the origin to the projection of the center point of the robot workspace on the mounting surface of the base Cw
(See Figures 3 and 4). When this convention cannot be achieved due to the construction of the robot, the direction of the X1 axis should be specified by the manufacturer.
Note. Appendix A lists the application examples of the frame coordinate system and the mechanical interface coordinate system.

5.3 Mechanical interface coordinate system Om-Xm-Ym-Zm
The origin of the mechanical interface coordinate system, Om, is the center of the mechanical interface. The direction of the Zm axis is perpendicular to the center of the mechanical interface. Xm axis
Is defined by the intersection of the mechanical interface plane and the Y1Z1 plane (or plane parallel to X1Y1), and the Xm axis is parallel to Z1
(X1), while the main and auxiliary joint axes of the robot are in the middle of the range of motion. When the construction of the robot cannot achieve this convention, it should
The position of the main joint axis is specified by the manufacturer (see Figure 3).
