Further cycles and functions

The CYCLE800 swivel cycle is used to swivel to any surface in order to either machine or

measure it. In this cycle, the active workpiece zeros and the work offsets are converted to the

inclined surface taking into account the kinematic chain of the machine by calling the

appropriate NC functions - and rotary axes (optionally) are positioned.

Swiveling can be realized:

● axis by axis

● via solid angle

● via projection angle

Before the rotary axes are positioned, the linear axes can be retracted if desired.

Swiveling always means three geometry axes.

In the basic version, the following functions

● 3 + 2 axes, inclined machining and

● toolholder with orientation capability

are available.

Setting/aligning tools for a G code program

The swivel function also includes the "Setting tool" and "Aligning milling tool" functions.

Contrary to swiveling, when setting and aligning, the coordinate system (WCS) is not rotated

at the same time.

Prerequisites before calling the swivel cycle

A tool (tool cutting edge D > 0) and the work offset (WO), with which the workpiece was

scratched or measured, must be programmed before the swivel cycle is first called in the main
