Programmable Frame Rotations With Solid Angles (Rots, Arots, Crots) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840DE Programming Manual

Frames

6.5 Programmable frame rotations with solid angles (ROTS, AROTS, CROTS)

Requirement:
The tool must be positioned perpendicular to the working plane. The positive direction of the
infeed axis points in the direction of the toolholder. Specifying CUT2DF activates the tool
radius compensation in the rotated plane. For more information please refer to Section "2 1/2
D Tool Compensation, CUT2D CUT2DF".
6.5 Programmable frame rotations with solid angles (ROTS, AROTS,
CROTS)
Function
Orientations in space can be specified by means of frame rotations with solid angles ROTS,
AROTS, CROTS. Programming commands ROTS and AROTS behave analogously to ROT
and AROT.
Programming
When programming the solid angles X and Y the new X-axis lies in the old ZX plane.
ROTS X... Y...
Or
AROTS X... Y...
Or
CROTS X... Y...
When programming solid angles Z and X the new Z-axis lies in the old YZ plane.
ROTS Z... X...
