15.4 Swiveling
General sequence
● Swivel the coordinate system into the plane to be machined via the swivel screen.
● Machining with the setting “Face B”.
● If another machining type follows, swiveling is automatically deselected.
The swiveled coordinates are maintained in the reset state and after Power On. So you can
still move out of an inclined hole, for example, with retraction in the +Z direction.
Machine manufacturer
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
Swiveling is executed one axis at a time. In the case of axis-by-axis swiveling, the coordinate
system is rotated around each axis in turn, with each rotation starting from the previous
rotation. The axis sequence can be freely selected.
Procedure
1. The "Spigot Res. Mat." input window opens if you press the "Various"
softkey.
2. Press the "Swivel plane" softkey.
3. Press the "Initial position" softkey if you wish to reestablish the basic
setting, i.e. you wish to set the values back to 0.
This is done, for example, to swivel the coordinate system back to its
original orientation.
