WCS / Toolplane / Cplane

Recommended Posts

Hi,

We have a 6 axis machine, 3 + 2(A C) in head and a Trunion along the X axis, full 360deg "U" axis. I programe the 5 axis as normal giving A and C output, Then rotate the WCS in matercam to say 180deg set cplane and tool plane to TOP and WCS to the 180deg do some more paths.

Is there a way to post the WCS angle out? ,at the moment I put this in manually.

Thanks

The Tool Plane View Matrix allows calculation of any rotational angle. It is based on the relationship between the TPlane and the WCS. It actually represents the position of the TPlane, but could be manipulated to output the WCS if that is the desired output. System variables m1$ thru m9$ are the components of this matrix.
