Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Setting the pole and the angle reference axis

Setting the pole and the angle reference axis

The pole is set by entering two Cartesian coordinates in one of the three planes. These coordinates also set the reference axis for the polar angle PA.

Coordinates of the pole	Reference axis of the angle
(plane)
X/Y	+X
Y/Z	+Y
Z/X	+Z

Absolute and incremental polar coordinates

Absolute polar coordinates always refer to the pole and the reference axis.

Incremental coordinates always refer to the last programmed nominal position of the tool.
