Traverse Of Universal Milling Head In Jog Mode - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Function Manual

F2: Multi-axis transformations
1.5 Universal milling head
Example of transformation type
$MC_TRAFO_TYPE = 148 for example, means:
The first rotary axis is parallel to the Z axis,
the second rotary axis is an inclined X axis and tool orientation in zero position points in the Z
direction.
Only the tool is moved by both rotary axes.
Bit 8 = 1: Universal milling head
Bit 6 and 7 = 00: Movable tool
Bits 5 and 4 = 10: Orientation in zero position in the Z direction
Bit 3 -1 = 100: Axis sequence CA'
Active machining plane
Since tool orientation in position zero can be set in directions other than just the Z direction,
the user must ensure the active machining level is set so that tool length compensation takes
effect in the tool orientation direction. The active machining plane should always be the plane
according to which the tool orientation is set in position zero.
Other settings
The geometry information used by the universal milling head transformation for calculation of
the axis values is set in the same way as that of the other 5-axis transformations.

Traverse of universal milling head in JOG mode

JOG
The linear axes can be traversed normally in JOG mode. It is, however, difficult to set the
orientation correctly by traversing these axes.
Activation of universal milling head
The transformation for a universal milling head in the program is activated as described in the
following Section.
