RTCP FUNCTION FOR 5-AXIS MACHINING
The RTCP (Rotating Tool Center Point) function enhances the quality of workpiece finishing by ensuring the tool tip automatically follows the programmed contour trajectory. With the RTCP function, there is no need to account for tool length or tool orientation during machining. When the tool direction is adjusted after enabling RTCP, the CNC system automatically adjusts the X, Y, and Z axes to maintain consistent contact between the tool tip and the workpiece.
Using RTCP for profile machining ensures the tool direction remains perpendicular to the toolpath, significantly improving machining precision and surface quality.
