6.5.2
Rotation of the tool orientation relative to the path (ORIPATH, ORIPATHS, angle
of rotation)
Function
With a 6-axis transformation, the tool can be rotated about itself with a third rotary axis to
orientate the tool as desired in space. With a rotation of the tool orientation relative to the
path using ORIPATH or ORIPATHS, the additional rotation can be programmed via the
THETA angle of rotation. Alternatively, the LEAD and TILT angles can be programmed using
a vector, which is located in the plane vertical to the tool direction.
Machine manufacturer
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions. The interpolation of the LEAD and
TILT angles can be set differently using machine data.
