13.4 Miscellaneous functions for rotary axes

Feed rate in mm/min on rotary axes A, B, C: M116
(option 8)
Standard behavior
The control interprets the programmed feed rate of a rotary axis in
degrees/min (in mm programs and also in inch programs). The feed
rate therefore depends on the distance from the tool center to the
center of the rotary axis.
The larger this distance becomes, the greater the contouring feed
rate.
Feed rate in mm/min on rotary axes with M116
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine geometry must be specified by the
machine tool builder in the description of kinematics.
Programming notes:
The M116 function can be used with table axes and
head axes.
The M116 function is also effective if the Tilt
working plane function is active.
It is not possible to combine the M128 or TCPM
functions with M116. If you want to activate M116
for an axis while the M128 or TCPM function is
active, you must deactivate the compensating
movement for this axis indirectly using M138. This
is done indirectly because with M138, you specify
the axis for which the M128 or TCPM function is
effective. Thus, M116 automatically affects the very
axis that was not selected with M138.

Without the M128 or TCPM function, M116 can be
effective for two rotary axes at the same time.
The control interprets the programmed feed rate of a rotary axis in
mm/min (or 1/10 inch/min). In this case, the control calculates the
feed rate for the block at the start of each block. The feed rate of a
rotary axis will not change while the block is executed, even if the
tool moves toward the center of the rotary axis.
Effect
M116 is effective in the working plane. Reset M116 with M117. At
the end of the program, M116 is automatically canceled.
M116 becomes effective at the start of the block.
