In both cases, with 6-axis transformations, a polynomial can also be programmed for the
rotation using
N… PO[THT]=(c2, c3, c4, c5)
or
N… PO[THT]=(d2, d3, d4, d5)
Interpolation of the rotation relative to the
path
Interpolation absolute, relative and tangen‐
tial to the change of orientation
of the orientation vector. This is possible if the transformation supports a rotation vector with an
offset that can be programmed and interpolated using the THETA angle of rotation.
Meaning
PO[PHI] Angle in the plane between start and end orientation
PO[PSI] Angle describing the tilt of the orientation from the plane between start and end orien‐
tation
PO[THT] Angle of rotation created by rotating the rotation vector of one of the G commands of
group 54 that is programmed using THETA
PHI Lead angle LEAD
PSI Tilt angle TILT
THETA Rotation about the tool direction in Z
PO[XH] X coordinate of the reference point on the tool
PO[YH] Y coordinate of the reference point on the tool
PO[ZH] Z coordinate of the reference point on the tool
Further information
Orientation polynomials cannot be programmed:
● If ASPLINE, BSPLINE, CSPLINE spline interpolations are active.
Type 1 polynomials for orientation angles are possible for every type of interpolation except
spline interpolation, that is, linear interpolation with rapid traverse G00 or with feedrate G01
with polynomial interpolation using POLY and
circular/involute interpolation G02, G03, CIP, CT, INVCW and INCCCW
.
However, type 2 polynomials for orientation coordinates are only possible if
linear interpolation with rapid traverse G00 or with feedrate G01 or
polynomial interpolation with POLY is active.
● If the orientation is interpolated using ORIAXES axis interpolation. In this case, polynomials
can be programmed directly with PO[A] and PO[B] for orientation axes A and B.
Type 1 orientation polynomials with ORIVECT, ORIPLANE and ORICONxx
Only type 1 orientation polynomials are possible for large-radius circular interpolation and
interpolation outside of the taper with ORIVECT, ORIPLANE and ORICONxx.
