5.12 Defining coordinate transformations
To make programming easier, you can transform the coordinate
system. Use this possibility, for example, to rotate the coordinate
system.
Coordinate transformations only apply in the current program.
You can define displacement, rotation, scaling or mirroring. You can
select between a new or an additive coordinate transformation.
In the case of a new coordinate transformation, all previously defined
coordinate transformations are deselected. An additive coordinate
transformation acts in addition to the currently selected coordinate
transformations.
 Offset
For each axis, you can program an offset of the zero point.
New offset
Additive offset
 Rotation
You can turn the X and Y axes through a specific angle. A positive
angle corresponds to counterclockwise rotation.
New rotation
Additive rotation
On turning machines without a physical Y axis, problems
with the coordinate system can occur if the axis is rotated.
