Difference between Machine Coordinate System and World Coordinate System?

    Hello,

    I noticed the manual describing several sets of coordinate systems here


    What is the difference between the World Coordinate System and the Machine Coordinate System? Are they the same? My understanding would be that an untaught userframe would coincide with the robot world and the cartesian values would be the same as if you were referencing the robot world coordinate system.

    Is the Machine Coordinate System the same as the World Coordinate System?

    Robot coordinate movement will be to the robot's base, while World coordinates will be to the Robot installation angle, defined in Constant Setting->Format and Configuration->Installation Angle. An example would be a Ceiling or Wall Mount installation where the robot and World coordinate movement differently.
