11.3 Working with the Parallel Axes U, V
and W

Overview

Your machine must be configured by the machine
manufacturer if you want to use parallel-axis
functions.
The axes U, V and W are secondary axes parallel to the principal
axes X, Y and Z, respectively. Principal axes and parallel axes are
permanently assigned to each other.
Principal axis Parallel axis

The TNC provides the following functions for machining with the
parallel axes U, V and W:
Function Meaning
PARAXCOMP Define the TNC's
behavior when
positioning parallel axes
PARAXMODE Define the axes the

functions:
