Selecting the orientation resolution (P-CHAN-00189)

P-CHAN-00189

Selecting the orientation resolution

Description

Typically, several axis positions are possible for an orientation resolution on a coordinate system. With a C-A tool head, for example, there is an alternative position C=180° and A= -45° for the axis position C=0° and A=45°.

This parameter defines which axis position is used for the orientation movement (see figure).

Parameter

tool_ori_cs.mode

Data type

UNS16

Data range

0: Align with axis position 1 or 2 depending on internal algorithm (default, in general not shortest way)

1: Align depending on shortest way

2: Prio1: Align taking into consideration the limits of software limit switches

    Priority 2: Align depending on shortest way

3: Align to axis position 1

4: Align to axis position 2
