ROT_MAT and ORIGIN CHANGE - Origin Information
The location and orientation of the origin are expressed in the MACSYS coordinate system.
In the example on the following page, the origin is at Y_ORIGIN, Z_ORIGIN. The origin is rotated by 20 degrees, therefore, the vector of the Z axis is:
I_ORIGIN = sin[20], J_ORIGIN = 0, K_ORIGIN = cos[20].
Origins that have the same Z axis direction, also have the same I, J, and K values even if they have different orientation of the X axis.
The machine axes rotation angles are only dependent upon the origin's Z direction (and the machine geometry).
