Fundamentals

Programming
TOFRAME
Frame rotation in tool direction
Or
TOFRAMEZ or TOFRAMEY or
TOFRAMEX
Z/Y/X axis parallel to tool orientation
Or
TOROTOF
Frame rotation in tool direction OFF
Or frame rotation on with
TOROT or TOROTZ or TOROTY
or TOROTX
Z/Y/X axis parallel to tool orientation
Or
PAROT
Align workpiece coordinate system (WCS) on workpiece
Or
PAROTOF
Deactivate workpiece-related frame rotation
Parameters
TOFRAME
Frame rotation in tool direction
The new frame, whose Z axis is pointing in the tool direction, is
applicable after the block containing TOFRAME. TOROTOF
deactivates the frame rotation in tool direction.
TOFRAMEZ
TOFRAMEY
TOFRAMEX
Z axis parallel to tool orientation
Y axis parallel to tool orientation
X axis parallel to tool orientation
TOROTOF
Frame rotation in tool direction OFF
TOROT
Frame rotation ON Z axis parallel to tool orientation. The rotation
defined by TOROT is the same as that defined with TOFRAME.
TOROTZ
TOROTY
TOROTX
Frame rotation ON Z axis parallel to tool orientation
Frame rotation ON Y axis parallel to tool orientation
Frame rotation ON X axis parallel to tool orientation
PAROT
Align workpiece coordinate system (WCS) on workpiece.
Translations, scaling and mirroring in the active frame remain valid.
The workpiece-related frame rotation activated with PAROT is
deactivated with PAROTOF.
PAROTOF
Deactivate workpiece-related frame rotation
Milling with working plane G17
TOFRAME or TOROT defines frames whose Z axes point in the tool direction. This definition
is tailored to milling operations, for which working plane G17 X/Y of the 1st – 2nd geometry
axis is typically active.
Turning with working plane G18 or G19
