19.6 Using RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point).
The RTCP represents a length compensation in space. The RTCP orientation of the tool may
be changed without modifying the position occupied by its tip on the part. Obviously, the CNC
must move several axes in order to maintain the tool tip position at all times.
Once RTCP transformation is active, spindle positioning may be combined with linear and
circular interpolations.
Programming. Turn RTCP on.

The RTCP transformation is kept active even after executing M02 or M30, after an
emergency or a reset and after turning the CNC off.
This figure shows what happens when turning the spindle while RTCP is active.
