ANGULAR TRANSFORMATION OF AN INCLINE AXIS
·M· & ·EN· MODELS
SOFT: V02.2X
Considerations for the angular transformation of an incline axis.
The axes involved in an angular transformation must be linear. Both axes may have Gantry axes
associated with them, the may be slaved (coupled) or synchronized by PLC.
If the angular transformation is active, the coordinates displayed will be those of the Cartesian
system. Otherwise, it will display the coordinates of the real axes.
The following operations are possible while the transformation is active:
• Zero offsets.
• Coordinate preset.
• Movements in continuous / incremental jog and handwheels.
The following operations are not possible while the transformation is active:
• Movement until making contact (against a hard stop).
• Coordinate rotation.
• Surface feedrate in milling.
Machine reference zero (home) search.
Function G46 is canceled when homing an axis that is involved in the angular transformation
(machine parameters ANGAXNA and ORTAXNA). When homing the axes that are not involved in
the angular axis transformation, function G46 stays active.
While searching home, only the real axes move.
Jogging and handwheel movements.
Either the real or the Cartesian axes may be jogged depending on how they've been set by the
manufacturer. It is selected via PLC (MACHMOVE) and it may be available, for example, from a user
key.
