Rotation allows the customer to rotate the axes while maintaining the frame origin. Figure A.2
shows the direction of rotation about the axis. Rotation is measured in radians.
When a value is entered for RX, RY, or RZ the following will result:
• RX value will rotate Y and Z about X in the direction shown (see Figure A.2).
• RY value will rotate X and Z about Y in the direction shown.
• RZ value will rotate X and Y about Z in the direction shown.
In a tool transformation, the order of the rotations is critical. The X-rotation occurs rst, followed
by rotation about Y (in its new orientation), then Z. Therefore, rotations MUST be expressed in this
order
