12.2 The PLANE function: Tilting the working plane (software option 8)

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:

PROJECTED Two projection angles:

Running an animation

In order to make the differences between each definition possibility

more clear even before selecting the function, you can start an

animated sequence via soft key. The control turns the soft key blue

and shows an animated portrayal of the selected PLANE function.

Required parameters

Three spatial angles:

SPA, SPB, and SPC

PROPR and PROMIN

and a rotation angle

Three Euler angles:

precession (EULPR),

nutation (EULNU) and

rotation (EULROT),

Normal vector for

defining the plane and

base vector for defining

the direction of the

tilted X axis

Coordinates of any

three points in the

plane to be tilted

Single, incrementally

effective spatial angle

Up to three absolute or

incremental axis angles
