Orientation reference to the coordinate system (OIRMKS, ORIWKS)
ORIMKS Tool orientation in the machine coordinate system.
With ORIMKS, the programmed orientation relates to the coordinate system defined by the
machine axes. Machine data is responsible for defining how orientation changes should be inter-
polated.
ORIWKS Tool orientation in the workpiece coordinate system.
With ORIWKS, the programmed orientation relates to the workpiece coordinate system, which
may be rotated in relation to the machine coordinate system using a frame. Machine data is
responsible for defining how orientation changes should be interpolated.
In the case of a 5-axis program, if it is not immediately obvious on which machine it is to run,
ORIWKS must always be selected. Which movements the machine actually executes depends
on the machine kinematics.
Orientation reference
ORIMKS The reference system for the orientation vector is the machine
coordinate system.
ORIWKS The reference system for the orientation vector is the workpiece
coordinate system. Machine data is used to determine precisely
what happens.
