Swivel heads and tables are used to create or process slanted planes.
Display MD 9723 $MM_CMM_ENABLE_SWIVELLING_HEAD is set to enable
the swiveling function.
You must set up a swivel data set for every swivel head, swivel table or com-
bination of both.
You can define swivel data sets using the "Swivel cycle" softkey in the "Startup"
operating area on the CNC–ISO operator interface.
User–specific customizations of the swivel function can be performed in the
TOOLCARR swivel cycle.
A detailed description of the startup (defining swivel data records and adapting
swivel cycle TOOLCARR) can be found:

During the manual setting of the swivel head/table, alarms are issued that indi-
cate the required angles:
62180 manually setting both axes
62181 manually setting one axis
With a Hirth tooth system, the corresponding rotary axes can only assume cer-
tain positions (angle grid > 0). If the programming requires a position that devi-
ates from the angle grid, the machine automatically sets the adjacent position
and issues an alarm.
112328 Angle adapted to angle grid
The swivel cycle TOOLCARR allows for defining how the alarm must be ac-
knowledged.
If the processing of the workpiece requires an angle of the swivel head/table
that falls outside the valid angle area, an alarm is issued:
61184 No solution possible with current angle values
The programmed processing cannot be performed using the existing swivel
head/table.
For manual loading/unloading or replacing of swivel heads, ShopMill issues one
of the following alarms:
112323 Unload swivel head
112324 Load swivel head
112325 Replace swivel head
In addition, the swivel cycle TOOLCARR is called for loading/unloading or re-
placing swivel heads.
