19697 Reference tool axis direction
[Input type] Parameter input
[Data type] Byte path
[Valid data range] 1 to 3
Set the tool axis direction in the machine coordinate system when the
rotation axes for controlling the tool are all at 0 degrees. Also, set the tool
axis direction in the machine coordinate system in a mechanism in which
only the rotation axes for controlling the table are present (there is no
rotation axis for controlling the tool).
1: Positive X-axis direction
2: Positive Y-axis direction
3: Positive Z-axis direction
When the reference tool axis direction is neither the X-, Y-, nor Z-axis
direction, set the reference direction in this parameter, then set appropriate
angles as the reference angle RA and reference angle RB (parameter Nos.
19698 and 19699).
