With cone surface interpolation, during
reorientation the tool moves on a
programmable peripheral surface of a cone
located anywhere in space.

Vector interpolation
Interpolation on the peripheral surface of a cone in the clockwise
direction
Programming:
Circle end position with radius: G2 X.. Y.. Z.. CR=
End orientation vector: A3= B3= C3= or A2= B2= C2=
Vector of the cone's axis of rotation: A6= B6= C6=
Opening angle of the cone (PSI), value 0 -180 degrees:
GROOVE=
Interpolation on a peripheral surface of a cone in the
counterclockwise direction
Programming:
Circle end position with radius: G3 X.. Y.. Z.. CR=
End orientation vector: A3= B3= C3= or A2= B2= C2=
Vector of the cone's axis of rotation: A6= B6= C6=
Opening angle of the cone (PSI), value 0 -180 degrees:
