- Tool center point control command
During tool center point control, the command specifies the location of each block end
point as seen from the programming coordinate system.
The program specifies the tool center point.
As for the rotation axis, the command specifies the coordinate values of each block
end point in the case of type 1 or the tool direction at each block end point in the case
of type 2.
The feedrate is specified by the tangential speed relative to the workpiece (the tool's
relative speed as opposed to the workpiece), which is represented by F.
