13.6 Using RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point)
The orientation of the tool may be changed without modifying the
position occupied by its tip on the part. The RTCP represents a length
compensation in space.
Obviously, the CNC must move several axes in order to maintain the
tool tip position at all times.
The figure below shows what happens when turning the spindle when
NOT working with RTCP.
Use the following instructions for working with RTCP transformation:
Once RTCP transformation is active, spindle positioning may be
combined with linear and circular interpolations.
The RTCP function cannot be selected while the TLC function is
active.
The following examples use a double swivel rectangular spindle head:
#RTCP ON Activate RTCP transformation
#RTCP OFF Cancel RTCP transformation
