TOOL ORI CS needs a rotary axis.

Description

With the NC command #TOOL ORI CS (tool orientation perpendicular to the rotated machining plane), it is detected that a rotary axis necessary for the tool orientation is not available in NC channel.

Response

Class

2

Abort NC program processing.

Solution

Class

3

Check the order of the main axes and rotary axes in the NC channel, and adjust them according to the underlying kinematics. As a rule at least two rotary axes are necessary for the automatic tool orientation.

For further information see [PROG// Section: Align tool]

Ensure that no axes required for alignment have been sent out of the channel by axis exchange commands or are incorrectly arranged in the axis order (e.g. gaps).

Parameter

%1:

Current value [-]

Place or index in axes order, where a rotary axis is expected.

Error type

1, Error message from NC program.
