Rotation allows the customer to rotate the axes while maintaining the frame origin.
shows the direction of rotation about the axis. Rotation is measured in radians.
When a value is entered for RX, RY, or RZ the following will result:
•
RX value will rotate Y and Z about X in the direction shown (see
).
•
RY value will rotate X and Z about Y in the direction shown.
•
RZ value will rotate X and Y about Z in the direction shown.
In a tool transformation, the order of the rotations is critical. The X-rotation occurs first, followed
by rotation about Y (in its new orientation), then Z. Therefore, rotations MUST be expressed in this
order
