3.9.2.7 Programming orientation axes (ORIAXES, ORIVECT, ORIEULER, ORIRPY, ORIRPY2,
ORIVIRT1, ORIVIRT2)
The "Orientation axes" function describes the orientation of the tool in space and is achieved
by programming the offset for the rotary axes. An additional, third degree of freedom can be
achieved by also rotating the tool about itself. In this case, the tool is oriented in space via a third
rotary axis for which 6-axis transformation is required. The rotation of the tool about itself is
defined using the THETA angle of rotation in accordance with the type of interpolation of the
rotation vectors (see "Rotations of the tool orientation (ORIROTA, ORIROTR, ORIROTT,
ORIROTC, THETA) (Page 685)").
Axis identifiers A2, B2 and C2 are used to program the orientation axes.

Note
Other rotary axis offsets of the orientation axes can be programmed for orientation changes
along the peripheral surface of a taper in space, see "Orientation programming along the
peripheral surface of a taper (ORIPLANE, ORICONCW, ORICONCCW, ORICONTO,
ORICONIO) (Page 678)".
