The Plane Function: Tilting The Working Plane (Software Option 1) - HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 User Manual

12.2 The PLANE Function:
Tilting the Working Plane
(Software Option 1)
Introduction
The machine manufacturer must enable the functions for
tilting the working plane!
You can only use the PLANE function on machines which
have at least two rotary axes (head and/or table).
Exception: PLANE AXIAL can also be used if only a single
rotary axis is present or active on your machine.
The PLANE function is a powerful function for defining tilted working
planes in various manners.
All PLANE functions available on the TNC describe the desired working
plane independently of the rotary axes actually present on your
machine. The following possibilities are available:
Function Required parameters
SPATIAL Three space angles: SPA,
SPB, and SPC
Two projection angles:
PROJECTED
PROPR and PROMIN and a
rotation angle ROT
EULER Three Euler angles:
precession (EULPR),
nutation (EULNU) and
rotation (EULROT)
VECTOR Norm vector for defining
the plane and base vector
for defining the direction of
the tilted X axis
POINTS Coordinates of any three
points in the plane to be
tilted
Single, incrementally
RELATIVE
effective spatial angle
AXIAL Up to three absolute or
incremental axis angles
A, B, C
