Tool Linear

Describes a 1D tool attached to the kinematics. By using an additional simulation axis it is possible to move in tool direction. The linear tool can be used to move the TCP in a defined distance of a work piece.

When the axis position is 0 the TCP is at the position of the tool offset.

Tool axis ID

Axis ID of a simulation axis. By moving this axis the TCP moves in direction of the linear tool.
