6.3.2 OffsToolPolar - Offsets tool cartesian
Usage
OffsToolPolar
is a function that requires an instance of
tooldata
, an offset
radius as
num
data, and an angle as
num
. The function will return a new
tooldata
value offset in tool coordinates by the amount specified by the offset in the direction
specified in the angle.
Basic examples
CONST num MyRadius := 3;
CONST num MyAngle := 35;
tMyOffsetTool:=OffsToolPolar (tMyOriginalTool, MyRadius, MyAngle);
The tool is offset 3 mm in the X-Y plane. The direction is specified by
MyAngle
.
Return value
Data type:
tooldata
The new TCP data.
Arguments
OffsToolPolar (Tool Radius Angle)
Tool
Data type:
tooldata
Original tool.
[Radius]
Data type:
num
Offset in mm.
[Angle]
Data type:
num
Direction of offset in X-Y plane in degrees.
Syntax
OffsToolPolar '('
[ Tool ':=' ] < expression (IN) of tooldata > ','
[ Radius ':=' ] < expression (IN) of num > ','
[ Angle ':=' ] < expression (IN) of num > ')'
