Definition:
A pole is said to exist if the line described by the tool center point intersects the turning
center of the rotary axis.
The following cases are covered:
● Under what conditions and by what methods the pole can be traversed
● The response in pole vicinity
● The response with respect to working area limitations
● Monitoring of rotary axis rotations over 360°.
Pole traversal
The pole can be traversed by two methods:
● Traversal along linear axis
● Traversal into pole with rotation of rotary axis in pole
Traversal along linear axis
