TOOL ORI CS needs a rotary axis.

Description

With the NC command #TOOL ORI CS (tool orientation perpendicular to the rotated machining plane), the system detects that a rotary axis necessary for the tool orientation is not available in NC channel.

Response

Class

2

Abort NC program processing.

Solution

Class

3

Check the order of the main axes and rotary axes in the NC channel and adjust them according to the basic kinematic. As a rule at least two rotary axes are necessary for automatic tool orientation.

For further information see [PROG//Section – Orienting tool]

Ensure that no axes required for alignment were sent out of the channel by axis exchange commands or are incorrectly arranged in the axis order (e.g. gaps).

Parameter

%1:

Current value [-]

Place or index in axis order where a rotary axis is expected.
