ROTABL/AAXIS-BAXIS-CAXIS,ATANGL-INCR-SETANG,a,[CLW-CCLW][,NEXT-NOW][,ROTREF]
(5 Axis Machine)
This statement generates the rotary table motion block.
AAXIS
BAXIS
CAXIS Specifies which rotary table is to be moved.
ATANGL Specifies an absolute table location a in degrees from 0 to 360.
INCR Specifies an incremental value of a in degrees from the current table position. The value of a can be from -360 to +360.
SETANG Specifies an absolute table location a in degrees from + or - the axis register size. You can use this statement only with rotary tables that can be programmed with more than one revolution per block.
CLW
CCLW Specifies the direction of table rotation to be clockwise or counterclockwise. This option is modal; initially CLW is assumed.
NEXT Causes the table motion to be output with the next linear motion as a contouring move.
NOW Causes table motion to be output in a block by itself. This option is modal. Initially NOW is assumed.
ROTREF Is used when in the MULTAX mode of operation to rotate the table without changing the orientation of the part geometry. If ROTREF is specified, it will stay in effect until a new ROTABL command is given. Any valid ROTABL command that does not contain the ROTREF couplet can be used to cancel the ROTREF.
