Programming
Programming a orientation change:
A change in tool orientation can be programmed by:
● Direct programming of rotary axes A, B, C (rotary axis interpolation)
● Euler or RPY angle
● Direction vector (vector interpolation by specifying A3 or B3 or C3)
● LEAD/TILT (face milling)
The reference coordinate system is either the machine coordinate system (ORIMKS) or the
current workpiece coordinate system (ORIWKS).
