Hello members of this community, 

I wanted to check if it is permitted to create additional Mount Ports on robots to account for the thickness of tool adapters/couplers that attach to any robot mounted tool - be it grippers or welding guns, as shown below: 

We usually include this offset on the base port of the robot mounted tool itself so that it can be used with the default mount port. 

Will having an additional Mount port have any negative affect on the inverse kinematics in any way ?

Looking forward to your input !

Regards,

Omar
