Example 6: Setting-up a lathe with B axis
For lathes with an additional rotary axis B, the tool can be aligned or swiveled on the X/Z
plane. If your machine has a counterspindle, you can, for example, machine with a tool
alternating between the main spindle and counterspindle.
You require the following swivel data sets to use the "Align tool" and "Swivel plane"
functions:
● Swivel data set 1 for aligning and swiveling tools on the main spindle and counterspindle
● Swivel data set 2 for machining inclined surfaces when milling on the main spindle (face
● Swivel data set 3 for machining inclined surfaces when milling on the counterspindle (face
When commissioning the "B-axis kinematics turning technology" in parameter
$TC_CARR37[n], the TEN THOUSANDS position must be set to 2 or 3 in swivel data set 1.
This is the reason why in the program editor "Swivel tool → align turning or milling tool" is
listed for swivel data set 1.
