Maintaining the position of the tool tip when
positioning with tilted axes (TCPM): M128
(software option 2)
Standard behavior
The TNC moves the tool to the positions given in the part program. If
the position of a tilted axis changes in the program, the resulting offset
in the linear axes must be calculated, and traversed in a positioning
block.
Behavior with M128 (TCPM: Tool Center Point Management)
If the position of a controlled tilted axis changes in the program, the
position of the tool tip to the workpiece remains the same.
If you wish to use the handwheel to change the position of the tilted
axis during program run, use M128 in conjunction with M118.
Handwheel positioning in a machine-based coordinate system is
possible when M128 is active.
After M128 you can program another feed rate, at which the TNC will
carry out the compensation movements in the linear axes. If you
program no feed rate here, or if you program a larger feed rate than is
defined in MP7471, the feed rate from MP7471 will be effective.
The machine geometry must be specified by the machine
tool builder in the description of kinematics.

Caution: Danger to the workpiece!
For tilted axes with Hirth coupling: Do not change the
position of the tilted axis until after retracting the tool.
Otherwise you might damage the contour when
disengaging from the coupling.
Before positioning with M91 or M92 and before a TOOL CALL,
reset M128.
To avoid contour gouging you must use only spherical
cutters with M128.
The tool length must refer to the spherical center of the
tool tip.
If M128 is active, the TNC shows the symbol in the
status display.
