10.13 Inclined axis
10.13.1 Inclined axis (TRAANG)
Functionality
The inclined axis function is intended for grinding technology and facilitates the following
performance:
● Machining with an oblique infeed axis
● A Cartesian coordinate system can be used for programming purposes.
● The control maps the programmed traversing movements of the Cartesian coordinate
system onto the traversing movements of the real machine axes (standard situation):
Inclined infeed axis.
Programming
TRAANG( ) or
TRAANG( ,n)
Activate transformation with the parameterization of the
previous selection.
TRAANG(α) Activates the first specified inclined axis
transformation
TRAANG(α,n) Activates the nth agreed inclined axis transformation.
The maximum value of n is 2. TRAANG(α,1) corresponds to
TRAANG(α).
α Angle of inclined axis
Permissible values for α are:
-90 degrees < α < + 90 degrees
TRAFOOF Transformation off
n Number of agreed transformations
Angle α omitted or zero
If α (angle) is omitted (e.g., TRAANG(), TRAANG(, n) ), the transformation is activated with
the parameterization of the previous selection. On the first selection, the default settings
according to the machine data apply.
An angle α = 0 (e.g., TRAANG(0), TRAANG(0,n)) is a valid parameter setting and is no
longer equivalent to the omission of the parameter, as in the case of older versions.
