Where can the default Tool Center Point (TCP) be found?

The default Tool Center Point (TCP) is generally defined as a specific point on the end effector of the robot where the tool or the operation is centered. This is usually configured during the setup of the robotic system to ensure accurate movement and positioning. The TCP serves as the reference point for the robot's movements, allowing it to perform tasks with high precision.

The center of the faceplate is a common location to set the TCP because it allows for uniform and balanced operation, especially in applications where the tool needs to work across a predictable range of motion. This positioning helps in programming paths and operations that depend on the precise location of the tool in relation to the workpiece.

Other locations, such as the edges of the robot arm or at the base, wouldn't typically be used for the TCP because they don't accurately represent where the tool interacts with the workpiece or perform the intended tasks. Setting the TCP at the end effector allows for more effective manipulation and control during operation.
