Notes on the setting Basic position of the kinematics
For turning machines (1st technology is turning) with a B axis, you can set whether the tool
is oriented toward "-Z" or toward "-X" in the basic position of the kinematics. This setting is
taken into account for "Align tool" and for "Swivel plane".
Align tool
● For "Align tool", the programming of beta and gamma is machine-independent.
● With the basic position setting "Working plane" or "-Z", beta = 0 also corresponds to this
basic position (compatibility).
● With the basic position setting "-X", the B axis is re-oriented through 90° for beta = 0.
Swivel plane (new swivel plane)
● With the basic position setting "Working plane" or "-Z" and active working plane G17, there
is no new tool orientation for swivel plane to basic position (compatibility).
● With the basic position setting "-X" and active working plane G17, the tool orientation is
rotated 90° around Y for swivel plane to basic position.
Therefore, with the basic position setting "-X", milling is possible in a swiveled plane in different
working planes (G17 or G19).
The following settings and programming is not permitted and results in error messages:
● Swivel plane, basic position -Z and G18 or G19 active
● Swivel plane, basic position -X and G18 active

Meaning
Swivel data set enabled
Setting swivel data set change
Automatic or manual tool change is only necessary under ShopMill or Shop‐
Turn (→ see also: CUST_800.spf, markers _M2 to _M13).
A swivel data set must be "enabled" in every case (value ≥ 4).
0 = Swivel data set not enabled
4 = Swivel data set enabled
automatic swivel data set and tool change
5 = Swivel data set enabled
automatic swivel data set change and manual tool change
6 = Swivel data set enabled
manual swivel data set change and automatic tool change
7 = Swivel data set enabled
manual swivel data set and tool change
