1.0 INTRODUCTION
The relative job function is a software option used when programming a robot off-
line. It allows a job to be converted from pulse counts to Cartesian coordinates so
that it may be edited off-line with a software package or shifted by a sensor. This
enables the user to develop robot programs without having an in-depth knowledge
of the robot arm configuration and the complicated mathematics required to convert
between joint angles and Cartesian coordinates. It also allows users to create
programs that are independent of the robot arm type (e.g., a program that is written
in Cartesian coordinates for a K10 will also run on a K6 or K30).
Relative Job is used with:

• Vision systems
• Sensor systems
• Off-line programming (Robot Calibration and Tool Calibration should be
performed on robots that are running jobs that have been created off-line.)
• Touch Sense
Relative job also has the ability of on-line 3-D shift. Jobs can be created based on a
part frame. Sensor input can be used to make a new frame, and the program can
then be executed for a new part position. Because the positions are based on the
Tool Center Point (TCP) position, updates can be made to the tool information and
translated to the path.

3.0 RELATIVE JOB USAGE
This section will discuss the differences between relative job and standard job,
introduce the three coordinate systems used in relative job, as well as illustrate
several examples of relative job usage.
3.1 RELATIVE JOB DESCRIPTION

Relative job is distinguished from standard job in that the latter is based on a joint
coordinate system using S-, L-, U-, R-, B-, and T-axes (see Figure 3-1). Relative
Job, however, utilizes a Cartesian coordinate system, using X-, Y-, and Z-axes to
define position data (see Figure 3-2).

Figure 3-1 Standard Job Pulse Position Data

When teaching points with the programming pendant, the actual position values are
not relevant to the operator. They are, however, relevant to the robot's memory,
enabling the robot to recognize a particular position in space. Coordinate numbers
are also important when any off-line programming is taking place, as the actual
coordinate numbers are defined in the computer before being transferred to the
MRC controller (see Section 5.0 ). If desired, the MRC controller can display the
current or taught robot position as X, Y, and Z coordinates or as encoder pulse
counts for each axis. Downloaded jobs will display positional information with
encoder pulse count values or X, Y, and Z, depending on whether the job is
standard or relative.
Z Axis
X Axis
Y Axis
Figure 3-2 Relative Job X, Y, and Z Position Data
Other software functions will allow individual points or whole programs to be

temporarily shifted or permanently moved in X, Y, or Z directions. With relative
job, programs are taught as usual and then converted to X, Y, and Z positions
relative to a particular coordinate frame. When a new frame position is defined, all
points in the job are shifted in the X, Y, and Z directions as well as rotated with
respect to the origin.

3.1.1 Coordinate Systems
In relative job, the following three different coordinate systems may be used
(see Figure 3-3), which include base coordinates, robot coordinates, and user
coordinates.
Tool Coordinates
Robot Coordinates
Base Coordinates
User Coordinates
User
Coordinates
Figure 3-3 Base, Robot, and User Coordinates
• Base Coordinate System

Base coordinates apply when the robot is on a track, otherwise they are the
same as robot coordinates.
• Robot Coordinate System
Robot coordinates are centered on the base rotation with zero elevation even
with the L- and U- axis motors.
• User Coordinate System (24 Frames)
User coordinates are defined by three points; an origin, X direction, and Y
direction. Most relative job applications will be based on user coordinates. The
user coordinate (frame) is defined by an origin point, and X-axis datum, and a
Y-axis reference. The origin point is used to establish the location of the frame.
The XX point establishes the positive X direction. It does not matter how far
the XX point is from the origin. The Z-axis is at a right angle from the XX
point. The XY point establishes the angle of XY plane and the positive Z
direction. For more information on user coordinates, see the User Coordinate
System Section in the Operator's Manual for your specific application.

3.1.2 Relative Job Shift Function
WARNING!
If the user coordinate number selection is changed carelessly, it
is possible that the manipulator may not move in the anticipated
direction when executing the job. Use caution when modifying
coordinate systems.
CAUTION!
If the steps taught in MOVJ are shifted, the motion to the
instructed steps might differ. Use caution so that the fixture or
other parts do not interfere with the robot's movement.
If a user coordinate system is being used in the relative job and the ORG, XX, or
XY points are modified, creating a different user coordinate (frame), a shift to the
program will occur. The relative job's programmed positions always remain the
same. Job shifting is accomplished by changing or specifying a new coordinate
location (see Figure 3-4).

3.1.3 Tool Center Point

A well-defined Tool Center Point (TCP), also referred to as Tool Control Point (see
Section 8.0 for MRC TCP definition), is necessary for relative job. The robot will
move the TCP to the X, Y, Z position in the relative job. Changing the TCP will
affect the position to which the robot will move. The TCP is also used in the
calculation required to convert a pulse job to a relative job. Refer to the Operator's
Manual for your specific application for information on defining a TCP.

3.1.4 Standard Pulse Job Format
An encoder is connected to the motor shaft of each axis. When a point is taught the
encoder pulse count value for each axis is stored. The encoder values are an easy
reference for the robot because they relate to the angles for each joint of the arm.
Encoder information also eliminates redundant position or direction information
which can occur with Cartesian coordinates. Redundant positions can be illustrated
with a circle in which 0 degrees and 360 degrees define the same position.
The job header information indicates that the job is in a pulse format. The
positional information is referenced separately from the move instructions.
Separation of the positional information and move instructions allows motion type
of a point to be edited without affecting its position. The position references use the
following format:
C0000 = S-axis, L-axis, U-axis, R-axis, B-axis, T-axis
The following represents the standard pulse format of a simple job, ROBCAL:

END

3.1.5 Relative Job Format
Relative job positioning is based on Cartesian coordinates. Three dimensional
space is defined by X-,Y-, and Z-axes. The point located at 0,0,0 is defined as the
origin. Every point also has specified angles about the X-, Y-, and Z-axes to define
the tool orientation (Rx, Ry, Rz). The frames of robot and base coordinates are in a
fixed position. With user coordinates, however, frames can be programmed
anywhere in the robot's envelope in a variety of orientations.
The job header information indicates that the job is in a relative job format. The
positional information is referenced from the robot frame. The position references
use the following format:
C0000 = X (0.000 mm), Y (0.000 mm), Z (0.000 mm)
Rx (0.00 deg), Ry (0.00 deg), Rz (0.00 deg)

3.2 EXAMPLES OF RELATIVE JOB USAGE
This section will provide examples of several different types of relative job usage
including shift for a damaged tool, job shift, shift to multiple manipulators, and
simplified off-line teaching.
3.2.1 Shift for Damaged Tool

Relative job moves the Tool Center Point (TCP) to the programmed coordinates. If
the tool is bent, it will not be in the proper position. A bent tool can be easily
compensated for by teaching a new TCP (see Section 8.0 for TCP programming
procedure). With the new TCP defined, the tool will now be aligned in the proper
position. All relative jobs that use this tool will be aligned.
3.2.2 Job Shift

After a job is taught as a standard job in the standard position, a user frame is set up
and the job is converted to a relative job. If the fixture location is incorrect, during
execution of the job, the user frame can be recreated in the new position, allowing
the robot to continue executing the job. An example follows:
1. Place the work in a standard position and teach the job as usual as usual (see
Figure 3-5). Name the job [STDJOB-1]. (The name of the job should not
exceed 8 characters in length.)
Figure 3-5 Teaching Job in Standard Position
2. Create a user frame. Initially teach the frame using the programming
pendant to teach the origin (ORG), X direction (XX), and Y plane (XY).
(See Figure 3-6.)

Z Axis Y Axis
X Axis
Figure 3-6 Teaching X, Y, and Z Points
3. Convert the job to a relative job. The actual operation of the job conversion is
as follows: [STDJOB -1] is modified to User Coordinate No. 1, and the relative
job, [RELJOB -1], is created. (See Section 4.0 Relative Job Operation for
keystroke information on converting the standard job.)
4. If the fixture or workpiece is moved, the user frame can be realigned by
teaching the ORG, XX, and XY points. The job can then be executed using the
modified user frame (see Figure 3-7).

5. Teach frames manually for periodic movement. The following is an example
where user frames are updated for every part:
The vision controller searches out the three defined points of the user frame (see
Figure 3-8) and each subsequent job is executed on that newly established
coordinate frame.

END

3.2.3 Using One Manipulator for Work in Multiple Positions
CAUTION!
In some cases, the robot may not be able to reach all points of
the job. Try to orient the fixture so that the robot can reach all
points without modification.
NOTE: In the first example, it is possible to adjust individual points of each job since they are separate
jobs. The second example, however, is a better use of the robot's memory. Each situation and
its usage should be taken into consideration.
Once the manipulator has been taught a job, that job can be shifted to other
positions (see Figure 3-9).
Work
Robot
Figure 3-9 After Job is Initially Taught, Job is Shifted to Other Positions
An example of this follows:
1. Teach a job on the fixture.
2. Create user coordinates on the fixture that the above job was taught on; for
example, UF#1.
3. Convert the job created in Step 1 using the user coordinate in Step 2 to a relative
job. (See Section 4.0, Relative Job Operation, for keystroke information on
converting the standard job.)

4. Move the workpiece to another position, and in that position, a different user
coordinate (for example, UF#2) is taught.
5. The job header screen of the relative job created in Step 3 displays the user
coordinate (UF#1) which was taught in Step 1. Edit this to be the user
coordinate which was taught in Step 4 (UF#2).
6. Use the relative job function to convert the job in Step 5 back to a pulse-type
job.
7. If another job needs to be created, repeat Steps 4 through 6 can be used.
One relative job can also be executed in multiple positions. An example of
this follows:
1. Teach a job (for example, ABCDEF) on the fixture.
2. Create user coordinates on the fixture that the above job was taught on; for
example, UF#1.
3. Use the relative job function and convert the job from Step 1 using the user
coordinate frame from Step 2.
4. Set up an identical fixture in a new position and create a different user
coordinate on the fixture; for example, UF#2.
5. You can specify in the CALL instruction which fixture (user frame) to execute
the job on.
EXAMPLE:
NOP
CALL JOB : ABCDEF UF#(2)
END
When the CALL command is executed, relative job ABCDEF, which was taught on
UF#1, works on UF#2.
6. If you need to set up additional user fixtures on which the job needs to be
executed, repeat Steps 4 and 5, creating additional user frames on the additional
fixtures.
3.2.4 Shift to Multiple Manipulators
CAUTION!
There is a possibility that the robot will not be able to execute
the job in the playback position. Be sure to press FWD/BKWD to
confirm the playback position.
A job that has been taught on one robot can be shifted to other robots on the
production line (see Figure 3-9). An example of copying a job to the next
manipulator follows:
1. Teach the job on robot 1.
2. Set up a user frame (for example UF#1) around the fixture on which the job
was taught.

3. Convert the job created in Step 1 to a relative job using the user frame in Step 2.
4. Save the relative job to a floppy disk, using the FC1/FC2 floppy disk drive.
5. Set up a user frame using the same user frame number as was used in Step 2 on
robots 2 and 3 on their fixtures.
6. Load the relative job which was saved in Step 4.
7. Convert the job back to a standard pulse job in robots 2 and 3 if desired.

3.2.5 Simplified Off-Line Teaching
CAUTION!
Positions that are taught off-line should be verified in Teach
Mode before executing a program in play.
Simplified off-line teaching of the relative job can be executed when using a
FC1/FC2 floppy disk drive or a computer.
1. Load the following data into the computer:
• Manipulator position data (X,Y,Z)
• Instructions
2. Convert the data into a program (relative job) for the MRC using the computer.
3. Transfer the relative job to the MRC controller. The following two methods can
be used for data transfer:
• Save job data on a floppy disk and transfer to the MRC via the Yasnac FC1
or FC2 floppy disk drive.
• Send job data from the computer to the MRC controller with communication
software.

3.3 INSTRUCTIONS USED IN RELATIVE JOB
This section includes an overview of CALL and JUMP instructions used when
executing a relative job, as well as MFRAME instructions used when generating
new user coordinates (frames).
3.3.1 CALL/JUMP
CAUTION!
When executing a relative job, the manipulator maintains its
current orientation. For this reason, during teaching, the robot
should be oriented similar to how it will be oriented in the first
step of the relative job. If the position of the robot is extremely
different from that of the robot in the first step of the relative
job, there is a possibility that the robot will not perform the
work as anticipated.
Calling a relative job is executed by using the CALL or JUMP instruction. If the
coordinate number is omitted, the job is automatically executed using the
coordinates on which it was originally converted on, for example:
CALL JOB: JOB -1
JUMP JOB: JOB -1 IF IN#(1)= OFF
If the coordinate system used during teaching is a user coordinate, when the CALL
or JUMP instruction is called up, another coordinate system other than the one used
during teaching can be used. The following is an example:
The relative job [JOB-1], which has been converted in user frame No.
1, can be executed using a different frame by specifying it in the call
instruction. [JOB-1] is executed with the user coordinate value of No. 2.
CALL JOB : JOB - 1 UF# (2)
To enter a CALL or JUMP instruction, follow these steps:
1. While in Teach Mode, move the cursor to Address side of the screen and
press EDIT.
2. Press CONTROL (F2).
3. Press JUMP (F1) or press CALL (F2).
4. Press NAME (F1).
5. Move the cursor to Call or Jump Job and press ENTER.
6. Press the ARROW UP soft key.
7. Press UF# (F1).
8. Enter the coordinate number that job will be run on and press ENTER.
9. Press ENTER.

3.3.2 MFRAME
MFRAME is the instruction used to generate or change user coordinates based on
the position data which has been detected by the sensor, etc. The MFRAME
instruction references points that are stored in position variables. The following is
an example:
MFRAME UF#(2) PX(ORG) PX(XX) PX(XY)
To enter an MFRAME instruction, follow these steps:

1. Press EDIT.
3. Press ARITH (F2).
6. Press MFRAME (F5).
7. Press CONST (F1) or VAR (F2).
NOTE: Be sure the User Coord No. used is not already in use because it will be overwritten.
8. Enter the User_coord_no. If you need to create a user coordinate frame, refer
to Creating User Frames.
9. Press ENTER.
10. Press PX(F1), LPX (F2), PX [], or LPX[].
11. Enter the position variable with the origin (ORG).
12. Press ENTER.
13. Enter the position variable with the XX coordinate.
14. Press ENTER.
15. Enter the position variable with the XY coordinate.
16. Press ENTER.
17. Press INSERT.
18. Press ENTER.

3.3.3 CREATING USER FRAMES
A user frame is created by taking an external reference point and defining the origin,
xx, and xy direction.
1. Press TEACH on the playback box.
2. Press CUSTOMER.
3. Press USER (F2).
4. Use FILE UP/FILE DOWN keys to find a user frame not currently in use.
5. Press SET (F5).
6. Press MORE.
7. Press TEACH (F5).
The LCD will display "Available to User Frame File."
8. Enable the programming pendant.
9. Press ORG (F1).
10. Move the robot TCP to the desired origin point.
NOTE: Ensure the robot is not in User Coordinates to define these points.
11. Press MODIFY.
12. Press ENTER.
13. Press XX (F2).
14. Move the robot to a point on the X-axis.
15. Press MODIFY.
16. Press ENTER.
17. Press XY (F3).
18. Move to a point on the +XY plane.
19. Press MODIFY.
20. Press ENTER.
21. Disable the programming pendant.
22. Press EXIT.
The user coordinate frame is now defined.

NOTES

4.0 RELATIVE JOB OPERATION
This section contains easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for converting a
standard job to a relative job, converting a relative job back to a standard job,
confirming both coordinates and command position, displaying differences between
command and current position, and information on editing a relative job.
CAUTION!
When executing a relative job, the manipulator maintains its
current orientation. For this reason, during teaching, the robot
should be oriented similar to how it will be oriented in the first
step of the relative job. If the position of the robot is extremely
different from that of the robot in the first step of the relative
job, there is a possibility that the robot will not perform the
work as anticipated.
CAUTION!
When teaching points in a pulse-type job created for relative job
conversion, the amount of movement between the S-, R-, and T-
axis teaching points must not exceed 180°. If it does exceed
180°, the S-, R-, or T-axis will operate in the opposite direction.

• The robot has the coordinate value of the specified coordinate system. The
station axis, however, continues to have a pulse value.
3. ROBOT AXIS + BASE AXIS

• The robot has the coordinate value of the specified coordinate system.
The base axis.
• Distance from base coordinate point of origin if base coordinate system

is specified.
• Distance from robot coordinate point of origin if robot coordinate system

is specified.
• Distance from user coordinate point of origin if user coordinate system

is specified.
5.4 CONFIGURATION OF THE MANIPULATOR

In the description of the job position data using X, Y, and Z coordinates, there are
several configurations of the robot that satisfy data. One configuration must be
specified. Up to five types of configurations are used with the MRC Controller.
The number of configurations depends on the type of robot. The five types of
configurations used with the MRC Controller are as follows:
5.4.1 Specification of Wrist Angle

1. The angle at the R-axis for a three-axis wrist robot can be specified by either of
the following two methods:
• The "flip, no-flip" method (as shown in Figure 5-5)
• The "R < 180° or R > = 180°" method (as shown in Figure 5-6 )
When the R-axis is in range A, it is in the flip position. When it is in range B, it is

in the no-flip position (see Figure 5-5).
For robots with an R-axis that turns 180° or more, it must be specified that the axis
has made a turn from -90° to 90°, 270° to 360°, or -360° to -270°. Similar
specification is also required for position B (see Figure 5-6).

Flip Position No-Flip Position
0° A 0°
-90° < ® < 90 90° < ® <= 270

270° < ® <= 360, -360 < ® <= -270 -270° < ® <= -90
NOTE: ® is the angle measured from the home position of the R-axis.
Figure 5-5 Flip and No-Flip Positions of Wrist Angle
R < 180° R >180°
0° 360° -360°
-180° 180°
-180° < ® <180 180° < ® <360, -360 < ® <-180
NOTE: ® is the angle measured from the home position of the R-axis.
Figure 5-6 Angle of R-Axis

2. The angle at the T-axis for a three-axis wrist robot must be specified as either
greater or less than 180° (see Figure 5-7).
T < 180° T >180°
0° 360° -360°
-180° 180°
-180° < T <180 180° < T <360, -360 < T <-180
NOTE: T is the angle measured from the home position of the T-axis.
Figure 5-7 Angle of T-Axis

The above specifications determine the positions of the R-, B-, and T-axes. This
operation is required for L, K, and V type six-axis robots.
5.4.2 Specification of the Base Three Axes

1. Specify whether the pivot of the B-axis is on the right or left side of the S-axis
pivot, as seen from the right side of the L-and U-axes. When the B-axis pivot
is on the right side of the S-axis pivot, the robot is in the front position. If the B
pivot is left of the S pivot, the robot is in the back position.
Figure 5-8 shows the S-axis turned at 0° and 180°. The front and back positions are
determined as seen from the right side of the L-and U-axes.

A S-axis Turned at 0° B S-axis Turned at 180°
BACK POSITION FRONT POSITION BACK POSITION FRONT POSITION
Figure 5-8 Front and Back Positions of S-Axis Turned at 0˚ and 180˚
These specifications are required for K and V type six-axis robots. They are,
however, not applicable for Type L robots because they always take the front
position.
2. Specify the form of the L-and U-axis as seen from the right. The upper elbow
position (A) and lower elbow position (B) are shown below in Figure 5-9.
This specification is required for V type six-axis robots. This is not applicable for
L or K type robots because they always take the upper elbow position.
A Upper Elbow Position B Lower Elbow Position
Figure 5-9 Upper and Lower Elbow Positions of L- and U- Axes

5.5 ROBOT FORM CONTROL METHODS
When a relative job is executed, because the robot is not being programmed in pulse
counts, the robot is not always able to use the desired form to reach a defined point.
The following two methods are ways in which the robot is able to decide on which
form it will use to reach defined points of a particular job:
1. Moving the R-and T-axes to preserve the sign of the B-axis.
2. Moving R-, B-, and T-axes to preserve the robot's form of the destination
point.
5.5.1 Moving the R-and T-Axes to Preserve the Sign of the B-Axis
This method is used to keep the angle of the B-axis from deviating from the "+"
range to the "-" range. It can be used to prevent the B-axis from moving past 0° in a
job (see Figure 5-10). The R-and T-axes move to reach a defined point, preserving
the sign of the B-axis. This method is especially useful in a job shift, however
should not be used with off-line programming because the form of the robots arm
will be changed with the movement of the R-and T-axes.
+
0°
Figure 5-10 B-Axis "+" and "-" Range

If the angle of the B-axis moves past 0°, this method will control the robot's arm to
move the R-axis 180° in the opposite position so that the B-axis does not deviate
from "+" or "-" (see Figures 5-11 and 5-12).

5.5.2 Moving R-, B-, and T-Axes to Preserve the Robot's Form of the
Destination Point
CAUTION!
Use caution when using this method with a job shift. Robot
movement can be unpredictable, resulting in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
CAUTION!
When teaching points in a pulse-type job created for relative job
conversion, the amount of movement between the S-, R-, and T-
axis teaching points must not exceed 180°. If it does exceed
180°, the S-, R-, or T-axis will operate in the opposite direction.
Because the encoder which reads pulse position is not used in relative job, the robot
recognizes the position of a job using X, Y, and Z coordinates. In this method, the
B-axis is moved to reach a defined point or changing the sine of the R-axis to
preserve the form of all other axes. Because the form of all other axes is preserved,
this method is especially useful when used with off-line teaching.
Caution should be used when using this method with a job shift. If the teaching
position is too close to the pole changing point, the robot may move in a direction
opposite to that of the anticipated motion. An example follows:
If during teaching, for example, a standard job, the angle of the R-axis is near 90°
or less and the position is shifted, the angle of the R-axis may exceed 90°. Before
the shift, the wrist is in a flip position. After shifting it is in a no-flip position (see
Figure 5-13).
R Axis

Flip
-90° 90°
No-Flip

\

As shown below in Figure 5-14, if the wrist is already in a flip position, when
shifted, the wrist will remain in a flip position. The wrist of the robot will not
deviate between flip and no-flip positions as anticipated. The upper left-hand figure
shows the current robot position. The anticipated motion of the robot is as shown
in the lower figure, however it is possible that the robot's motion may be as shown
in the upper right-hand figure. The tool angle remains the same between the
original and shifted positions, however, the motion is different and may cause
interference with the workpiece or other equipment. Be sure to confirm the motion
of the robot when using this method.

USAGE

8.0 MRC TOOL CENTER POINT DEFINITION
A well-defined Tool Center Point (TCP) is necessary for most applications,
especially any type of process work. A well-defined TCP allows easier teaching
and a much more accurate travel speed. An accurate TCP definition is a must for
welding, sealing, and cutting.
The MRC is capable of storing up to 24 different TCP's:

• The first TCP is called the Standard Tool, or Tool 0. Robots with one tool are
concerned only with the Standard Tool.
• The remaining 23 TCP's are called Universal Tools, or Tools 1-23. Robots
with multiple tools (such as two-handed grippers) use Universal Tools along
with the Standard Tool.
There are two methods for defining the TCP: manual TCP definition and automatic
TCP definition.
8.1 MANUAL TCP DEFINITION

Manual TCP is used when a tool has definite dimensions and orientation. To define
a TCP manually, follow these steps:
1. Press TEACH.
1. Press CUSTOMER.
2. Press TOOL (F1).
3. Move the cursor to the first tool dimension.
4. Press MODIFY.
5. Using the data keys, input the dimension of the tool relative to the wrist flange.
6. Press ENTER.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each tool dimension.
The TCP is now defined. To ensure accuracy of the TCP, use the rotate-about X,
Y, and Z keys to roll, bend, and twist the tool around the TCP (see Figure 8-1).
The TCP should not move.

8.2 AUTOMATIC TCP DEFINITION
Automatic TCP definition is used when a tool has a more complex geometry (for
example, angles or offsets).
To define a TCP automatically, follow these steps:

1. Put a pointer (with the sharp end up) on the fixture. Ensure that the pointer is
placed so that it will not move.
2. Press TEACH on the playback box.
3. Press CUSTOMER.
4. Press TOOL (F1).
5. Press CALIB (F4).
NOTE: If calibration points have already been taught, it will be necessary to press DATA CL (F3) and
EXECUTE (F5) in order to clear the old values.
6. Press TEACH on the programming pendant.
7. Enable the programming pendant by pressing ENABLE.
8. Using the axis keys, move the robot towards the pointer until the tip of the wire
touches the tip of the pointer (see Figure 8-2).

POINTER
Figure 8-2 Pointer

9. Press MODIFY.
10. Press ENTER. The first TC point is now programmed.
11. Press TC down arrow (F1) to select the next point to be programmed.
12. Repeat steps 8 through 10 for each TC point.
13. After all five TC points have been programmed, press CALC (F5).
The tool display screen (which shows the newly calculated XYZ dimensions of
the tool) appears.
14. Move the cursor to the right side of the screen to input tool angle dimensions.

EXAMPLE OF ENTERING TOOL ANGLE DIMENSIONS FOR A

a. Move the cursor to the Ry dimension.
b. Press MODIFY.
c. Using the data keys, manually enter -45 degrees.
d. Press ENTER.
