7.7 Swiveling
The following identifiers should be preferably chosen for the names of the rotary axes:
● Rotary axis rotates around machine axis X → A
● Rotary axis rotates around machine axis X → B
● Rotary axis rotates around machine axis Z → C
The channel names of the corresponding NC rotary axes must be entered for automatic rotary
axes: $TC_CARR37[n] in the TENS and HUNDREDS position: Mode automatic. Any axis
identifiers (maximum 6 letters or numbers) can be used for manual (manually adjustable) and
semiautomatic rotary axes.
$TC_CARR35[n]
$TC_CARR36[n]
System variable $TC_CARR37[n]
The following softkeys are assigned to the Swivel function in the "Program" → "Various"
operating section:
Technology milling -> "Swivel Plane" -> "Approach milling tool"
Meaning of the decimal positions
In order that a value can be displayed in the input/ election boxes of the dialog for swiveling,
the following display versions can be set:
$TC_CARR37[n]
