Practical Considerations
I Additional joint limits due to optical fibre over-bending. Figure: Optimal robot base location.
I Adjusting TCP frame to accommodate ideal laser
incidence angle. I For linear axis coordinate value of −3000mm
I Modification of shaft geometry to avoid possible and with a 1deg discretization step for the
collisions. positioner coordinate, the results obtained are
