Polar System

 

Polar systems consist of a rotary axis (direction) and a linear axis (distance).

Please note that the direction axis can be firmly mounted (in the direction of the X axis if dOffsetPhi=0). In this case, the workpiece is rotated (in the opposite direction) with the direction axis. The distance axis should be homed in such as way that its zero point is in the center of the work­piece. Otherwise, dOffsetR should be selected accordingly.
