Tool coordinate system T-CS
The tool coordinate system is a 3-D Cartesian coordinate system.
Its coordinate origin is the tool reference point. The values of the
tool table, L and R with milling tools and ZL, XL and YL with turning
tools, reference this point.
Further information:
Page 127
In accordance with the values from the tool table, the coordinate
origin of the tool coordinate system is shifted to the tool center
point TCP . TCP stands for Tool Center Point.
If the NC program does not reference the tool tip, the tool center
point must be shifted. The required shift is implemented in the NC
program using the delta values during a tool call.
The position of the TCP as shown in the diagram
is obligatory in conjunction with the 3-D tool
compensation.
With the aid of positioning blocks in the input coordinate
system, the user defines the position of the tool and
therefore the position of the tool coordinate system.
If the TCPM function or miscellaneous function M128 is active, the
orientation of the tool coordinate system depends on the tool's
current angle of inclination.
The user defines the tool's angle of inclination either in the
machine coordinate system or in the working plane coordinate
system.
Tool angle of inclination in the machine coordinate system:
Example
7 L X+10 Y+45 A+10 C+5 R0 M128
Tool angle of inclination in the working plane coordinate system:
Example
