Hi All,
I have a Deckel DMU 60T with a swivelling head (B axis) and rotating table (C axis). To make the most of the table area I am trying to use the tool orientation feature to rotate the table around to access an area of the bed that is not available in the normal travels.
When using:
var abc = machineConfiguration.getABC(W);
For a work plane (W) that has Z along the existing Z:
[[0.0202554, -0.999795, 0], [0.999795, 0.0202554, 0], [0, 0, 1]]
The returned abc is:
(0, 0, 0)
How can I turn the abc vector so that it rotates my workspace around Z? in this case I would expect the C axis rotation to be around 88 degrees.
Thanks
Todd
