5.1.4 5-axis Axial Definition
The A-axis, B-axis, and C-axis define the rotation axis, which rotates around the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis, respectively. The positive rotation direction can be defined by the right-hand rule (as shown in the figure below). Usually, the steering mechanism of the machine may drive the tool and may also drive the workpiece. Therefore, the forward and reverse directions are defined by the direction of movement of the tool that drives the result.
Five-axis axial definition
In this manual, we refer to the axial mechanism that drives the mechanism as the axis of motion, and the cutting point and the tool direction that describe the tool are the axes of the program. The INCON-M86R can program the axis space points defined by the five-axis program to be processed in real time by converting the coordinates to the motion axis space according to the mechanism model set in the controller (as shown below). This conversion is known as Real Time Rotating Center Point Transform.
