Meaning
1 There is a solution.
There can be three different causes for this case:
● Based on the specified orientation and the machine
kinematics, there is only one solution (from the
mathematical point of view, two coinciding solutions) even
without consideration of the axis limits. This case occurs at
the edge of the orientation range for kinematics that are not
at right angles. $P_ORI_POS contains both (identical)
solutions.
● There is only one solution because a second solution is
invalid due to the violated axis limits. The valid solution is
always the first solution in $P_ORI_POS. The second
solution which would result when the axis limits are not
taken into account, can also be read in $P_ORI_POS.
● This is the normal case when the ORISOLH function is
called in the "Direct tool alignment" mode. For the specified
axis positions of two orientation axes, there is generally
only one valid position for the missing orientation axis to be
calculated.
2 There are two solutions.
8 There are an infinite number of solutions, i.e. the position of an
orientation axis (the polar axis) is arbitrary. However, from the
two possible positions of the other axes, one is excludes be‐
cause of the violated axis limits.
9 There are an infinite number of solutions, i.e. the position of an
orientation axis (the polar axis) is indefinite. The indefinite axis
can be determined from the hundreds position or from the
$P_ORI_STAT system variable.
Values > 0 Bit-coded display for violated axis limits. The precise cause of the
error can be determined from the $P_ORI_STAT system variable.

The designations first, second and third orientation axis refer to the definition of the
axes in $NT_ROT_AX_NAME.
2.9 Modification of the offset data for rotatable tools
For at least one solution, at least one axis limit of
the first orientation axis is violated.
For at least one solution, at least one axis limit of
the second orientation axis is violated.
For at least one solution, at least one axis limit of
the third orientation axis is violated.
The position of the first orientation axis is not de‐
fined.
The position of the second orientation axis is not
defined.
The position of the third orientation axis is not
defined.
