Machine with IJK tool vector

Hello,

I'm trying to setup a machine with VERICUT where the motion of the rotary axis is defined by IJK tool vector,

N53 G0 X433.8508 Y14.5071 Z214 I0. J0. K1.

N58 G0 X425.8106 Y210.732 Z-116.0885 I-0.008727 J0.999962 K0.

but I have no real idea how to start.

What I have already found out, that there exist some macros like "ApplyRotationPlaneWithIjk2Abc" or "Ijk2AbcType", but the question is how to use them?

Perhaps someone can give me a hint how to get the axis moving  :wink:

Any help will be welcome!
Greetings,

Re: Machine with IJK tool vector

See IVector, JVector, KVector & Ijk2AbcType macros in the documentation

Ijk2AbcType macro should be in Control > Advanced > Start of processing with the appropriate override value

You may also need the ApplyRotationPlaneWithIjk2Abc macro in Start of processing, depending on your control.

IJKVector macros are used on the vector adresses

Good luck
