Dear all,
Is it possible to calculate the Euler Angles (or the rotation matrix - three (or at least two) vectors defining the tool orientation) from a 5-axis .NCI file?
I can reach the tool axis (Z vector) but it is not enough to define the complete matrix, I need at least one more vector.
Also, is there some information in the .NCI file that tells me if the machine will privilege the rotary or the linear axis?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Bernardo Freire
