Example :
With Tool posture control, at the blocks
N20 - N80 of the left program O0010, the
side of the work-piece can be machined.
The command G42.6 in N30 is for Tool
Radius Compensation for 5-axis machining.
Explanation
Tool Posture Control of Tool Center Point control for 5-axis machining controls
the two rotary axes so that the tool posture satisfies the following conditions in
real time. (Fig. 3)
- The actual vector of the tool posture(tool direction) lies on the plane which is
made by the tool length compensation vectors at the start point and the end
point of a block in real time.
- The angle between the actual vector of the tool posture and the tool length
compensation vector at the start point is proportional to the length between
the actual tool center point and the start tool center point of a block.
Commanding P0 at the start block of Tool Center Point control (G43.4/G43.5)
makes the conventional control active.
And, commanding P1 at the start block of Tool Center Point control
(G43.4/G43.5) makes the tool posture control active. Additionally, when the
parameter TPC(No.19604#0) is set to 1, the posture control is active at the start
block of Tool Center Point control (G43.4/G43.5) which has no P address.
The control way (Conventional control or Tool posture control) selected at the
start block Tool Center Point control (G43.4/G43.5) is active until G49 is
commanded.
The tool posture control is available for Rapid traverse(G00 : linear type) and
Liner interpolation (G01).
Other notes, cautions and restrictions are the same as Tool Center Point control
for 5-axis machining.
