5.5 Swiveling

● Zero plane

The zero plane corresponds to the tool plane (G17, G18, G19) including the active zero

offset (G500, G54, ...). Rotations of the active zero offset and the rotary axes are taken into

account for manual swiveling.

The "Swivel Manually" function only writes rotations either in the workpiece reference

($_WPFRAME) or in the active zero offset.

You can use the "Swivel Manually" function not only for machining, but also for setting-up.

– You can bring the machine into the initial position using the "Basic setting" softkey and

– With "Set zero plane" the actual swivel plane in the active zero offset is stored as the

the <CYCLE START> key. If the actual zero offset does not include a rotation, then the

rotary axes of the swivel data record are moved to zero. The tool is located vertically to

the machining plane.

If you want to use the actual swiveled plane as the reference plane for setting up your

workpiece, you must define this plane as the zero plane.

zero plane. As a result, the rotations in the active zero offset are overwritten.

The overall coordinate system does not change with "Set zero plane" or "Delete zero
