P-CHAN-00050

Select the plane for the second axis of effector coordinate systems (ECS)

Description

This parameter selects the plane in the machine coordinate system in which this second ECS axis is located.

Parameter

mach_plane_of_2nd_ecs_ax

Data type

STRING

Data range

'XY', 'xy', 'ZX', 'zx', 'YZ', 'yz'

Dimension

----

Default value

XY

Remarks

The direction of the second and third axes is calculated to obtain a right-handed system. In this case the third axis is always on the same side of the plane as the Z (effector) axis.
