Definition Of The Planes, Tool Types - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual

Note
Transformation
If kinematic transformation is active, the control makes a distinction between the basic
coordinate system and machine coordinate system.
If kinematic transformation is deactivated, this distinction is made.
All descriptions provided below assume that kinematic transformation is deactivated and
therefore refer to the machine coordinate system.

Definition of the planes, tool types

1.5
The G17, G18 or G19 tool radius correction planes can be selected.
Depending on the tool type, the tool lengths are assigned to the axes as follows:
• Milling cutter, workpiece probe for milling: 1xy or workpiece probe for milling: 710
• Drill: 2xy
• Turning tool, workpiece probe for turning: 5xy
