Detailed Description
2.11 Tool lengths L1, L2, L3 assignment: LENTOAX
_MATRIX[3][3]
_COORD
180
REAL
Matrix, which represents the vector of the tool lengths (L1=1, L2=1, L3=1) to the
vector of the coordinate axes (abscissa, ordinate, applicate), i.e., the tool length
components are assigned to the columns in the order L1, L2, L3 and the axes are
assigned to the lines in the order abscissa, ordinate, applicate.
All elements are always valid in the matrix, even if the geometry axis belonging to the
coordinate axis is not available, i.e., if the corresponding entry in _AXIND is 0.
STRING
Specifies the coordinate system used for the assignment.
MCS or M: The tool length is represented in the machine coordinate system.
BCS or B: The tool length is represented in the basic coordinate system.
WCS or W: The tool length is represented in the workpiece coordinate system
(default).
KCS or K: The tool length is represented in the tool coordinate system of the
kinematic transformation.
TCS or T: The tool length is represented in the tool coordinate system.
The notation of the characters in the string (upper or lower case) is arbitrary.
Basic logic functions: Tool Offset (W1)
