Measure geometric characteristics
In order to build the Denavit-Hartenberg table (see Robot 6-Axis) and prepare the vrml file, you need to get characteristics of the robot. For now, the measurement tool of FreeCAD is not ready, you can use the axes included in TX40_HB007 (the co-ordinates are indicated on the bottom left when you point an object with the mouse) or you have to use the Python console to get some information about the geometry. Note that the DH-table is only required if you need to use the inverse kinematics, i.e. get the Cartesian coordinates or drive the robot with Cartesian coordinates. The DH-table for this robot is the following (mm, deg and deg/s):
