Machine with B axis
Machines with B axis allow the tool carrier to be tilted for flexible
use of tools during turning and milling. By tilting the B axis and
rotating the tool you can bring it into positions that enable you
to use one and the same tool to machine in the longitudinal and
transverse (or radial and axial) directions on the main and counter
spindles. In this way, you need fewer tools and fewer tool changes.
Tool data: All tools are described in the tool database by specifying
the X, Z and Y dimensions as well as the compensation values.
These dimensions and tool orientation must be entered referenced
B=0° (reference position).
to the tilt angle
Cycle parameters:
BW: Angle in the B axis (machine-dependent)
CW: Reverse the tool (machine-dependent)
HC: Shoe brake (machine-dependent)
DF: Miscellaneous function (machine-dependent)
The BW and CW parameter settings are saved in the Teach-in and
MDI cycles and displayed in the corresponding cycle form.
Danger of collision!
Depending on the machine, the input of the additional tool
parameters might cause a tilting movement of the tool carrier
(e.g. turret) or the B axis, and a rotation of the tool. There is a
danger of collision during the tilting movement and the rotation!
Move the tool or the tool carrier to a safe position before
