3.1.2 Longitudinal tool axis selection
The longitudinal axis of the tool may be selected using the instruction
"#TOOL AX". This instruction allows to select any machine axis as the
new longitudinal axis.
Programming
The longitudinal axis of the tool is defined using the instruction
"#TOOL AX [<axis><sign>]", where:
• The <axis> parameter sets the new longitudinal axis of the tool.
• The <sign> parameter indicates tool orientation.
+ Positive if the tool positions in the positive direction of the
axis.
- Negative if the tool positions in the negative direction of
the axis.
Both parameters MUST be programmed.
