9.1 The PLANE Function: Tilting
the Working Plane
(Software Option 1)
Introduction
The PLANE function is a powerful function for defining tilted working
planes in various manners.
All PLANE functions available on the TNC describe the desired working
plane independently of the rotary axes actually present on your
machine. The following possibilities are available:
The machine manufacturer must enable the functions for
tilting the working plane!
You can only use the PLANE function on machines which
have at least two rotary axes (head and/or table).
Exception: The PLANE AXIAL can also be used if only a
single rotary axis is present or active on your machine

PROJECTED Two projection angles:
PROPR
and PROMIN and a
rotation angle ROT

precession (EULPR),
nutation (EULNU) and
rotation (EULROT) Page 522
VECTOR Norm vector for defining
the plane and base vector
