Note
The face end machining is automatically integrated in the cycles, with the exception of the
straight line and circle.
You can select the functions for these two cycles in the "Program" operating area at "Straight
line" and "Circle".

21.5.10 Inclined Y axis (TRAANG)
Function
If your turning machine has an inclined Y axis (i.e. this axis is not perpendicular to axes X and
Z), you can still completely program machining operations in Cartesian coordinates. The
control uses the inclined axis function (TRAANG) to transform the Cartesian coordinates to
the motion of the inclined axis.
Setting up
You still have to set up the inclined axis function (TRAANG) via machine data.

operation.
= 1 The "Clamp/release spindle" parameter is displayed in the drilling and milling screens. The
operator decides for which machining operation the spindle should be clamped.
