The identifiers have the following meanings:
NUT = +...
NUT = -...
A positive sign can be omitted when programming.
Settings for intermediate orientation
ORICONIO
If this G-code is active, it is necessary to specify an intermediate orientation with A7, B7, C7
which is specified as a (normalized) vector.
Note
Programming of the end orientation is absolutely necessary in this case.
The change in orientation and the direction of rotation is defined uniquely by the three
vectors Start, End and Intermediate orientation.
All three vectors must be different from each other. If the programmed intermediate
orientation is parallel to the start or end orientation, a linear large circle interpolation of the
orientation is executed in the plane that is defined by the start and end vector.
Angle of rotation and opening angle
The following may be programmed additionally for the angle of the cone:
PHI
PSI
Besides this polynomials of the 5th degree (max.) can be programmed as follows:
PO[PHI] = (a2, a3, a4,
a5)
PO[PSI] = (b2, b3, b4,
b5)
Further interpolation options
It is possible to interpolate the oreintation on a cone which connects tangentially to the
previous change of orientation. This orientation interpolation is achieved by programming the
G-codes ORICONTO.
