Positioning the rotary axes in a separate block
Proceed as follows if you want to position the rotary axes in a
separate positioning block (option STAY selected):
NOTICE
Danger of collision!
The control does not automatically check whether collisions can
occur between the tool and the workpiece. Incorrect or no pre-
positioning before tilting the tool to position can lead to a risk of
collision during the tilting movement!
Program a safe position of the tool before the tilting
movement.
Carefully test the NC program or program section in the
Program run, single block operating mode
Select any PLANE function, and define automatic tilting to
position with the STAY option. During program execution, the
control calculates the position values of the rotary axes present
on the machine, and stores them in the system parameters
Q120 (A axis), Q121 (B axis) and Q122 (C axis)
Define the positioning block with the angular values calculated
by the control.
Example: Tilt a machine with a rotary table C and a tilting table A to a spatial angle of B+45
