How to achieve force and torque values in tool coordinate system

The URScript get_tcp_force()

Returns force and torque values in base coordinate system. However, force and torque values in tool coordinate system are useful in many cases. The values can be achieved by using transformation from base to tool poses.

 

Robot Program

The force and torque values can be converted from base to tool coordinate systems by using few commands within the URP file as below. Please find attached the sample program at the bottom of the page.
