12.3 The PLANE function: Tilting the
working plane (software option 1)
Introduction
The PLANE function is a powerful function for defining tilted working
planes in various manners.
All PLANE functions available on the TNC describe the desired working
plane independently of the rotary axes actually present on your
machine. The following possibilities are available:
The machine manufacturer must enable the functions for
tilting the working plane!
All PLANE functions, with the exception of PLANE AXIAL,
require the use of tool axis Z.
You can only use the PLANE function on machines which
have at least two rotary axes (head and/or table).
Exception: PLANE AXIAL can also be used if only a single
rotary axis is present or active on your machine.
Function Required parameters Soft key Page
SPATIAL Three spatial angles: SPA, SPB, SPC Page 493
PROJECTED Two projection angles: PROPR and PROMIN and a
rotation angle ROT
