Working with a B axis

12.4 Swiveling

General sequence

● Swivel the coordinate system into the plane to be machined via the swivel screen.

● Machining with the setting "Face B".

● If another machining type follows, swiveling is automatically deselected.

The swiveled coordinates are maintained in the reset state and after Power On. So you can

still move out of an inclined hole, for example, with retraction in the +Z direction.

Swiveling is executed one axis at a time. In the case of axis-by-axis swiveling, the coordinate

system is rotated about each axis in turn, with each rotation starting from the previous

rotation. The axis sequence can be freely selected.

Machine manufacturer

Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.

Press the "Various" softkey.

Press the "Swivel plane" softkey.

Press the "Initial position" if you wish to reestablish the basic setting,

i.e. you wish to set the values back to 0.

This is done, for example, to swivel the coordinate system back to its

original orientation.
