| The RTCP (Rotation Tool Center Point) function improves part finish by making the tool tip follow the programmed profile regardless of the length and orientation of the tool. When working with RTCP and changing the orientation of the tool, the CNC moves the X, Y, Z axes to maintain the position of the tool tip on the part. Using RTCP, a profile may be machined maintaining the tool perpendicular to the tool path at all times. |
