Turret Coordsys


In this section, each row defines the vector orientation of the corresponding coordinate system axis. The Position row defines the coordinate system Zero position for this Device.

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

All coordinate systems are calculated from the Machine Zero Point.

X Vector

Choose the value from the list or select to set manually the vector to define the X-axis Coordinate System of the Turret. The vector is according to the X-axis vector on which the machine was built.

Y Vector

Choose the value from the list or select to set manually the vector to define the Y-axis Coordinate System of the Turret. The vector is according to the Y-axis vector on which the machine was built.

Z Vector

Choose the value from the list or select to set manually the vector to define the Z-axis Coordinate System of the Turret. The vector is according to the Z-axis vector on which the machine was built.

Position

Set the Zero position of the Turret Coordinate System as calculated from the Machine Zero point. The Machine Zero point is assumed as the Zero point according to the Machine construction coordinate system.

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