Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Programming Manual

Example: Three- to five-axis transformation on a universal milling head
The machine tool has at least five axes:
● Three translatory axes for movements in straight lines, which move the operating point to
any position in the working area.
● Two rotary swivel axes arranged at a configurable angle (usually 45 degrees) allow the tool
to swivel to positions in space that are limited to a half sphere in a 45-degree configuration.
