The PLANE Function: Tilting the Working Plane (Software Option 1) 11.2
Positioning the rotary axes in a separate block
Proceed as follows if you want to position the rotary axes in a
separate positioning block (option STAY selected):
Danger of collision!
Pre-position the tool to a position where there is no
danger of collision with the workpiece (clamping
devices) during positioning.
Select any PLANE function, and define automatic positioning
with the STAY option. During program execution the TNC
calculates the position values of the rotary axes present on the
machine, and stores them in the system parameters Q120 (A
axis), Q121 (B axis) and Q122 (C axis)
Define the positioning block with the angular values calculated
by the TNC
NC example blocks: Position a machine with a rotary table C and a tilting table A to a space angle of B+45°
