Advanced Surface / Top Surface
Note
When applying tool radius compensation CUT3DCC / CUT3DCCD in combination with the
"Advanced Surface" or "Top Surface" function (requiring a license), the setting
recommendations regarding "Advanced Surface" / "Top Surface" must be observed. Special
test programs are provided in the SIOS portal for checking the set data.

3.13.6 Tool orientation (ORIC, ORID, OSOF, OSC, OSS, OSSE, ORIS, OSD, OST)
The term tool orientation describes the geometric alignment of the tool in space. The tool
orientation on a 5-axis machine tool can be set by means of program commands.
Direction vector
X
Y
Z
Orientation rounding movements activated with OSD and OST are formed differently depending
on the type of interpolation for tool orientation.
If vector interpolation is active, the smoothed orientation characteristic is also interpolated
using vector interpolation. On the other hand, if rotary axis interpolation is active, the orientation
is smoothed directly using rotary axis movements.
