19.4 Coordinate systems (#CS / #ACS).
There are two different types of coordinate systems, namely the machining coordinate
system and the fixture coordinate system. Each one is handled with its associated
instruction.
Both instructions use the same programming format and may be used independently or
combined as indicated in the following sections.
Several #ACS and #CS coordinate systems may be combined. When activating a new one,
it is added to the current coordinate system. See "19.4.8 How to combine several coordinate
systems." on page 336.
It is recommended to start the program with #CS NEW or #ACS NEW to avoid undesired
planes. This happens, for example, after interrupting the program and resuming execution.
Programming.
Both instructions (#CS and #ACS) use the same programming format. There are various
programming formats depending on the operations to carry out with the coordinate systems;
define, activate, save, cancel and delete.
Programming format.
The general programming format is the following; later on in this chapter, there is a more
detailed description of the different formats for each operation. See "Detailed programing."
on page 324.
#CS <DEF/ON/NEW/OFF> <ALL> <ACT> [{nb}] [MODE {mode}, {V1}, {V2}, {V3},
{1}, {2}, {3}, <{align}>, <FIRST/SECOND>]
#ACS <DEF/ON/NEW/OFF> <ALL> <ACT> [{nb}] [MODE {mode}, {V1}, {V2}, {V3},
{1}, {2}, {3}, <{align}>, <FIRST/SECOND> <SOL2>]
#CS With the #CS instruction, up to 5 machining coordinate systems may be
defined, stored, activated and deactivated.
#ACS With the #ACS instruction, up to 5 fixture coordinate systems may be
defined, stored, activated and deactivated. This system is used to
compensate for workpiece inclination due to the fixtures used to secure
them.
In EDISIMU mode, the user can access an editor that makes programming inclined planes easier using
the instructions #CS and #ACS. See the operating manual for further information on the editor of
inclined planes.
DEF/ON/
NEW/OFF
Operation to be carried out.
DEF: Define and save a coordinate system.
ON: Define, save and activate a coordinate system.
NEW: Cancel and delete all coordinate systems.
OFF: Cancel a coordinate system.
ACT Together with the DEF command, it assumes and saves the current coordinate
system.
ALL Together with the ALL command, cancels all coordinate systems.
{nb} Number of the coordinate system (from 1 to 5).
MODE {mode} Definition mode (from 1 to 6).
{V1}...{V3} Components of the translation vector.
{
1}...{3} Rotation angles.
{align} Optional. Plane alignment (value 0/1). Only in modes 3, 4 and 5.
KEEP Optional. Command to maintain the part zero when canceling the coordinate
system.
FIRST/SECOND Optional. Command to define the orientation of the axes. Only in mode 6.
<SOL2> Optional. On Huron type spindles, use the second solution to orient the spindle;
if not programmed, use the first one.
