RAM Specifies whether to use the axis as the rotation axis for tool axis direction
tool length compensation.
0 : Not used as the rotation axis.
1 : Used as the rotation axis.
Select two axes from among rotation axes and set them as the rotation axes
for these purposes.
RAP Specifies whether the rotation axis used for tool axis direction tool length
compensation.
0 : Ordinary rotation axis.
1 : Parameter axis. The rotation axis is not controlled in designation
direction tool length compensation.
If this bit is set to 0, absolute coordinates are used as the coordinates of
rotation axes in tool axis direction tool length compensation mode, and
machine coordinates are used in three–dimentional handle feed mode. If
this bit is set to 1, the value set in parameter No. 19658 is used as the
coordinates of the rotation axes.
When there is no rotation axis in the controlled axes, or when there is only
one rotation axis in the controlled axes, set 1 in bit 0 (RAM) and bit 1 (RAP)
of parameter No. 19650 for the linear axes to which non–existent rotation
axes belong, and set an angular displacement in parameter No. 19658.
(Example 1)
There are linear axes X, Y, and Z, and rotation axes A, B, and C which
rotate about the X–, Y–, and Z–axes, respectively. The tool axis direction
is controlled with the rotation axes A and C.
RAM (No. 19650#0)
X 0
Y 0
Z 0
A 1
B 0
C 1
(Example 2)
The controlled axes include only the linear axes X, Y, and Z. By using the
tool attachment, the tool axis is tilted in the same tool axis direction as
when the A– and C–axes are rotated.
