The 6 axis post processor- 2

The alternative 6 axis post processor is similar to the 6 axis post processor except that the payout eye is constrained to move in a plane that contains the winding axis that is inclined at an angle to the X-Y plane. This can allow a larger diameter to be wound than is usual or my give better clearance if the payout head has an unusual configuration The angle of inclination is from the value entered when the 6 axis transformation angle is requested. The default value is 45 degrees. Using this option radial mandrel clearance can be optimised for example if the Z travel is 300mm And the Y travel is 600mm from the mandrel centre line the angle would be optimal at arctan(300/600) and the maximum radial clearance would be (600²+300²). The standard 6 axis system should usually be used in preference to this option.
