Manual taper turning

Functionality
The manual taper turning function is intended for the simple production of tapered workpieces.
For this machining type, you need to enter an angle (taper angle α). The angle input rotates the controller's internal
coordinate system according to the angle value.
When you move the axis direction switch, the controller then uses the angle input to interpolate (and simultaneously
traverses) the X and Z axes accordingly.
The programmed axis feed then applies to the path being traversed and not to the corresponding axis.
If tapers with defined end points are to be turned, the use of limit stops is a helpful addition to this function.
Note
The desired taper is traversed only by means of an axis direction switch or axis direction keys of the machine control panel
depending on the machine equipment.
A traversal using the handwheels is not possible.
