Turret Coordsys

CoordSys enables you to define the X, Y and Z vector orientation of the corresponding coordinate system axis as well as the coordinate system zero position for the device.

All coordinate systems are calculated from the Machine Zero Point.

The Machine Zero Point is assumed as the zero point according to the machine construction coordinate system.

The Turret CoordSys is defined by the following parameters:

X Vector

 

Choose the value from the list or select to manually set the vector that defines the X-Axis Coordinate System of the device. The vector is relevant to the X-Axis vector on which the machine was built.

Y Vector

Choose the value from the list or select to manually set the vector that defines the Y-Axis Coordinate System of the device. The vector is relevant to the Y-Axis vector on which the machine was built.

Z Vector

 

Choose the value from the list or select to manually set the vector that defines the Z-Axis Coordinate System of the device. The vector is relevant to the Z-Axis vector on which the machine was built.

Position

 

Set the zero position of the device coordinate system as calculated from the Machine Zero Point.

If a turret has one rotary axis, the device coordinate system position has to be the same as the rotation point of the rotary axis. If the rule is violated, the error message is displayed:
