- "Rotation axis closer to the tool" and "rotation axis closer to the workpiece" on a 5-axis machine
When tool direction compensation is performed on a 5-axis machine, a singular
point and singular point posture need to be considered. Here, a "rotation axis
closer to the tool" and "rotation axis closer to the workpiece", which are used in a
description of a singular point and singular point posture provided later, are
explained.
On a 5-axis machine with two rotation axes, one rotation axis functions to tilt the
tool toward the workpiece. This rotation axis is referred to as a "rotation axis
closer to the tool".
The other rotation axis is referred to as a "rotation axis closer to the workpiece".
Depending on the type of mechanical section, the rotation axis closer to the tool
and rotation axis closer to the workpiece are determined as indicated in Table 1.
