454 Programming: Multiple Axis Machining
12.2 The PLANE Function: Tilting the Working Plane (Software Option 1)
Input parameters
U Spatial angle A?: Rotational angle SPA around the
fixed machine axis X (see figure at top right). Input
range from -359.9999° to +359.9999°
U Spatial angle B?: Rotational angle SPB around the
fixed machine axis Y (see figure at top right). Input
range from -359.9999° to +359.9999°
U Spatial angle C?: Rotational angle SPC around the
fixed machine axis Z (see figure at center right). Input
range from -359.9999° to +359.9999°
U Continue with the positioning properties (see
