The coordinate system can be rotated about an axis by specifying the
center of rotation, direction of the axis of rotation, and angular
displacement. This coordinate conversion function is quite useful for
three–dimensional machining on a diesinking machine. By applying this
conversion to a program generated for machining on the XY plane,
identical machining can be executed on the desired plane.
When rigid tapping is commanded in three–dimensional coordinate
conversion mode, tapping can be done at the angle specified by a
three–dimensional coordinate conversion command. (This is called
three–dimensional rigid tapping.)
