6.1 General programming of transformation types
Programming of orientation
Programming of tool orientation only in the plane, which is
perpendicular to the rotary axis. There are
two translatory axes (linear axes) and
one axis of rotation (rotary axis).
Programming of tool orientation only in the plane, which is
perpendicular to the rotary axis. There are
three translatory axes (linear axes) and
one axis of rotation (rotary axis).
Programming of orientation transformation. Kinematics with
three linear axes and two orthogonal rotary axes.
The rotary axes are parallel to two of the three linear axes.
The first rotary axis is moved by two Cartesian linear axes. It
rotates the third linear axis with the tool. The second rotary
axis rotates the workpiece.
