KIN_TYP_70 – 5-axis kinematics

Kinematic structure

The kinematic structure consists of 3 translatory and 2 rotary NC axes in the tool. With these kinematics, tool head rotation about Z can be set in the case of non-axis-parallel orientation of the BA rotary head. A virtual axis CV can be used to affect tool orientation.

The CV axis is not a physical real axis existing in the kinematic structure. The CV axis executes a rotation of the tool direction vector about Z, i.e. the angles A and B are calculated depending on CV. One application can be the perpendicular alignment of one component of the XY tool direction to the programmed contour. This axis must therefore be configured as a simulation axis and can then be addressed in the NC program as usual.

The permitted angle range of the A and B axes is in the range of +- 90 degrees.
