Basic coordinate system B-CS
Application
In the basic coordinate system B-CS you define the position and orientation of the workpiece. You determine these values by using a 3D touch probe, for example. The control saves the values in the preset table.
Description of function
Properties of the basic coordinate system B-CS
The basic coordinate system B-CS is a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Its coordinate origin is the end of the kinematics description.
The machine manufacturer defines the coordinate origin and orientation of the B-CS.
Transformations in the basic coordinate system B-CS
The following columns of the preset table have an effect in the basic coordinate system B-CS:
- X
- Y
- Z
- SPA
- SPB
- SPC
You determine the position and orientation of the workpiece coordinate system W-CS by using a 3D touch probe, for example. The control saves the determined values as basic transformations in the B-CS in the preset table.
The machine manufacturer configures the BASE TRANSFORM. columns of the preset table in accordance with the machine.
Note
The machine manufacturer can define additional basic transformations in the pallet preset table.
- Refer to the machine manufacturer's documentation
- Use pallet presets only in conjunction with pallets
- Change pallet presets only after discussion with the machine manufacturer
- Check the pallet preset in the Setup application before you start machining
