Parameter Description
TC Name of the swivel data record
0: Remove the swivel head, deselect the swivel data record
No entry: No change to the set swivel data record
Retraction No
ZR Retraction path - (only for incremental retraction in the tool direction)
Swivel plane
● New: New swivel plane
● Additive: Additive swivel plane
Swivel mode
● Axis by axis: Rotate coordinate system axis-by-axis
● Direct: Directly position rotary axes
Z Angle of rotation in the plane (only in the "direct" swivel mode)
Axis sequence Sequence of the axes which are rotated around:
XYZ, XZY, YXZ, YZX, ZXY, ZYX
X Rotation around X
Y Rotation around Y
Z Rotation around Z
Name of rotary axis Axis angle for swivel, direct
1
Name of rotary axis Axis angle for swivel, direct
2
Direction Preferred direction of rotation for two alternatives (swiveling axis-by-axis)

5. Press the "Basic setting" softkey and the <CYCLE START> key to move
the machine into the initial position.
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.
This is done, for example, to swivel the coordinate system back to its
original orientation.
6. Press the "Set zero plane" softkey to set the actual swivel plane to the
new zero plane.
7. Press the "Delete zero plane" softkey to delete the actual swivel plane.
No retraction before swiveling
Incremental retraction in tool direction
The retraction path is entered into parameter ZR.
Maximum retraction in tool direction
Retraction in the direction of machine axis Z
Retract towards the machine axis Z and then in the direction X, Y
Positions the rotary axes of the active swivel data record
Angle of rotation in the plane around the tool axes
Larger angle of the axis on the scale of the swivel head / swivel table
Smaller angle of the axis on the scale of the swivel head / swivel table
