1.16 INCLINED ROTARY AXIS CONTROL
The conventional tilted working plane command / tool center point
control function for 5-axis machining / cutter compensation for 5-axis
machining / manual handle feed for 5-axis machining are used only
for those machines whose tool rotation axis or table rotation axis is
parallel to the basic axis of the basic coordinate system.
Inclined rotary axis control is intended to allow the tilted working
plane command / tool center point control function for 5-axis
machining / cutter compensation for 5-axis machining / manual handle
feed for 5-axis machining to be applied even when the tool rotation
axis or table rotation axis is inclined with respect to the X-Y plane, a
Y-Z plane or a Z-X plane of the machine coordinate system.
