(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.

19655 Axis number of the linear axis to which a rotation axis belongs
[Input type] Parameter input
[Data type] Word axis
[Valid data range] 0 – Number of controlled axes
When a rotation axis turns about a linear axis, the linear axis is referred
to as an axis to which the rotation axis belongs, and is set using this
parameter. For a rotation axis that belongs to no linear axis, or for a linear
axis, 0 is set.
Example:
Axis configuration: X, Y, Z, C, A
Linear axis: X, Y, Z
Rotation axis: A (turning about the X–axis),
C (turning about the Z–axis)
In the above case, set the following:
Axis number Axis name Setting
1 X 0
2 Y 0
3 Z 0
4 C 3
5 A 1

Enter the tool axis direction when the two rotation axes are set at 0 degree.
