The tool orientation is not explicitly specified and G17 is active. The cur-
rent tool is a milling cutter, i.e. the length components L1, L2, L3 act in
the coordinate directions Z, Y, X (in this order). The tool is therefore ori-
ented in the Z direction, i.e. the tool orientation vector is (0, 0, 1).
If now SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST = 18 is set, the tool lengths are inter-
preted as if G18 were active, i.e. L1, L2, L3 act in Y, X, Z, but the orien-
tation vector continues to point in the Z direction.
If additionally the thousands position is set to 1, i.e. SD42940
$SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST = 1018, the tool orientation vector is also modified as
if G18 were active, i.e. the tool is oriented in the Y direction (tool orien-
tation vector (0, 1, 0)). This setting thus means that tool length and tool
orientation are treated equally.
Description: This setting data defines the assignment of the tool length components to
the geometry axes independently of the tool type. It can assume any value
between 0 and 2. Any other value is interpreted as 0.
Value
0: Standard assignment. A distinction is made between turning and grinding
tools (tool types 400 to 599) and other tools (milling tools).
1: The assignment of the tool length components is independent of the
actual tool type, always as for milling tools.
2. The assignment of the tool length components is independent of the
actual tool type, always as for turning tools.
The setting data also affects the wear values assigned to the length compo-
nents.
If SD42940 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_CONST is set, the tables defined there access the
table for milling and turning tools defined by SD42950 $SC_TOOL_LENGTH_TYPE
irrespective of the actual tool type, if the value of the table is not equal
to 0.
