2.2 Tool axis right-angle direction handle/JOG/incremental feed
Overview
In the tool axis right-angle direction handle/JOG/incremental feed, the tool is
moved in the tool axis right-angle direction.
Tool axis right-angle direction
There are two tool axis right-angle directions, which are perpendicular to the tool
axis direction (refer to the previous section). When all of the rotary axes for
controlling the tool are at 0 degrees, if the tool axis direction is Z-axis direction, the
tool axis right-angle direction 1 corresponds to X-axis direction and the tool axis
right-angle direction 2 corresponds to Y-axis direction. When the rotary axis
rotates, the tool axis right-angle directions are changed corresponding to an angle
of the rotary axis.
