13.4 How to combine several coordinate systems
Several #ACS and #CS coordinate systems may be combined to
construct new coordinate systems.
For example, the #ACS inclination generated by a fixture on the part
may be combined with the #CS coordinate system that defines the
incline plane of the part to be machined.
Up to ten #ACS or #CS coordinate systems may be combined. The
CNC acts as follows:
First, it checks the #ACS and applies them sequentially in the
programmed order, resulting in an #ACS transformation.
Then, it checks the #CS and applies them sequentially in the
programmed order, resulting in a #CS transformation.
And last, it applies the resulting #CS over the resulting #ACS to
obtain the new coordinate system.
The result of the combination depends on the order they are activated
as may be observed in the figure below.
Every time a #ACS or #CS is activated, the resulting coordinate
system is recalculated as can be observed in the figure below.
