19.4.6 Define a coordinate system (MODE6).
Both instructions use the same programming format and may be used together or separately.
#CS DEF [{n}] [MODE 6, {V1}, {V2}, {V3}, {1}, <FIRST/SECOND>]
#ACS DEF [{n}] [MODE 6, {V1}, {V2}, {V3}, {1}, <FIRST/SECOND>]
This mode defines a new work plane (inclined plane) perpendicular to the direction of the
tool. The new work plane assumes the orientation of the tool's coordinate system.
In order to use this definition, while setting up the machine, the tool position when it is parallel to the
Z axis of the machine must be set as the spindle's rest position.
On this machine, only the main rotary axis has rotated. See the rest position of the spindle
at the top right side.
On the contrary, on this machine, to achieve the same tool orientation, both the main and
secondary rotary axes have rotated. See the rest position of the spindle at the top right side.
The main axis has rotated 90º and, therefore, the X' Y' axes of the plane are rotated 90º.
If on the machine, we wanted to orient the X', Y' axes like in the previous case, we would
have to program the following:
#CS DEF [{n}] [MODE 6, {V1}, {V2}, {V3}, -90]
