4.5.2 Example of rotations of orientation vector
Rotations with angle of rotation THETA
In the following example, the angle of rotation is interpolated in linear fashion from starting
value 0 degrees to end value 90 degrees. The angle of rotation changes according to a
parabola or a rotation can be executed without a change in orientation. tool orientation is
rotated from the Y direction to the X direction.

N80 A3=1 B3=0 C3=0 THETA=30
N40 Linear interpolation of angle of rotation from starting value 0 degrees to end value 90
degrees.
N50 The angle of rotation changes from 90 degrees to 180 degrees in accordance with the
parabola.
θ(u) = 90 + u
N60 A rotation can also be programmed without a change in orientation taking place.
N80 Tool orientation is rotated from the Y direction to the X direction. The change in
orientation takes place in the X-Y plane and the rotation vector describes an angle of 30
degrees to this plane.
