Procedure for programming swivel motion and subsequent machining:
X Swivel the coordinate system into the plane to be machined.
X Program the machining process as usual in the X/Y plane.
X Swivel the coordinate system back to its original position.
Basic procedure for using the swivel cycle
X Call the Swivel function in the program.
X Select the name of the swivel data record .
X Select "yes" for swivel if you wish to perform a swivel movement. Select "new" as swivel
movement if you wish to perform a new swivel movement, or "additive" if you wish to base the
movement on a previous swivel movement .
X Specify the reference point before rotation (X0, Y0, Z0) .
X Select the "axis-by-axis" swivel mode directly using the projection angle or the space angle
.
X Enter the angle through which the axis should swivel. In the axis-by-axis mode, you can enter
the angle for each axis .
X Shift the zero point on the swiveled plane .
You can program several swivel movements one after the other. A subsequent swivel movement
can be based on a previous one (additive). This provides you with a really clear means of repre-
senting swiveling in the program code.
Note the machine manufacturer’s instructions! You can set the parameters that you want to be
available using the CYCLE800 startup menu.
For a detailed example and further information on programming the swivel cycle, please
see the Tool and Mold Making (3 axes) manual. For further information on the swivel func-
tion, please refer to the additional documentation (See "Further information/documenta-
tion" on page 108.)
