Orientation of the grinding wheel or diamond point dresser is essential
information for dresser/wheel radius compensation to function properly.
Orientation data tells the control which side of the dresser/wheel is
available for grinding relative to the wheel/part surface.
The control uses orientation data during dresser/wheel radius compensation
as described in chapter 15. This section describes entering this orientation
data. Since orientation data is essential to radius compensation, the
orientation data in entered in the radius table. This table also contains
information on the dresser/wheel radius as described on page 3-4. Each
radius value entered in the radius table requires corresponding orientation
data.
