Effector coordinate system (ECS)

Selection

#ECS ON 

The ECS is mainly used to implement a recoil strategy after tool breakage, NC reset or program aborting when machining with a tool in any orientation. A machining plan that is perpendicular to the tool axis is determined automatically when determining the ECS.

Active up to cancellation or up to the end of the program.

No other coordinate system may be active when ECS is activated.
