3.2.2.46 G116 Rotation axes transformation
Transforms a virtual axis system with the rotation axes B and C into a
physical axis system with the rotation axes A and B‘.
G116 C
c Shift angle ϕ between path orientation and tool orientation.
The function creates the virtual axes B and C and transforms their angles γ
and δ with consideration of the shift angle ϕ into the angles α and β of the
physical axes A and B‘. The following kinematic connection applies:

ETCN051
0 Cutter direction
1 Tool
2 Tool tip
To switch on the transformation, the axes A and B must be configured. As
long as the transformation is switched on, the physical axes A and B‘ are
replaced by the virtual axes B and C and the programming of the
corresponding physical axes is inhibited.
The domain of the angles α, β and γ is between –90° and +90°.
The transformation is switched off through the programming of G116
without parameters. At the end of the program or in the event of a program
termination the transformation is automatically switched off.
