# Setting Tool Orientation Limits in an Area

This setting enables the tool to use tool orientation (roll- and pitch axis) as a criteria for when to enable and disable the tool. The orientation setting can be defined manually or by using a teach mode.

The tool can only measure two rotational axis. Due to the limitations in sensor technology the rotation around the Earth's gravity vector (yaw axis) cannot be detected.

Rotational axes for Angle tools

A | Roll | B | Pitch
C | Yaw |  |

Rotational axes for Pistol grip tools

A | Roll | B | Pitch
C | Yaw |  |

## Pitch

The rotational angle between the tool's socket axis and a vertical plane. Values: between -90° and 90°.

Pitch in Angle tools

The video below shows an example of pitch in Angle tools.

Pitch in Pistol grip tools

## Roll

The rotational angle around the tool's socket center axis. Values: between -180° and 180°.

At pitch ± 90°, roll cannot be measured.
