What does the TOOL coordinate system allow the user to do?

The TOOL coordinate system is specifically designed to enable users to easily manipulate the robot's Tool Center Point (TCP) according to the specifications of the selected tool. This system allows for precise adjustments and movements based on the unique geometry and characteristics of the tool in use. By defining the TCP within the context of the tool, operators can effectively plan and execute tasks, ensuring that the robot interacts correctly with objects in its environment.

This capability is critical in various applications, such as welding, assembly, or painting, where the orientation and position of the tool can significantly affect the quality and accuracy of the work. The TOOL coordinate system facilitates these adjustments without needing to reorient the robot itself, leading to more efficient programming and operation.

The other options pertain to functionalities that do not directly relate to the adjustments made to the tool's position or movements. Accessing system settings, changing operational modes, or setting speed limits are all important aspects of robot operation but do not leverage the specific capabilities that the TOOL coordinate system offers in relation to the TCP.
