Tool orientation interpolation

Tool orientation interpolation

Function

With active kinematic 5/6-axis transformation, the orientation behavior of the tool is programmed with execution of the part program for the Tool Center Point (TCP).

The orientation behavior (orientation interpolation) can be specified, for example, linearly (ORIAXES), in the plane of a large circle (ORIVECT/ ORIPLANE), on a taper surface area (ORICONCW/ORICONCCW) as a free vector interpolation of the tool (ORICURVE).

Benefits
