Surface Grinding Fixed Cycles
Chapter 16
16-3
Planes
The operation of the surface grinding cycles is very dependent on plane
selection. This chapter makes the following assumptions regarding plane
configuration for the control. Your axis names and designations may be
different. See the literature provided by your system installer.
PLANE 1st Axis 2nd Axis 1st Integrand 2nd Integrand 1st Parallel 2nd Parallel
G17 X Y I J U V
G18 Z X K I W U
G19 Y Z J K V W
Plane selection must be made prior to executing a block that starts the
reciprocation axis or a block that starts any of the grinding fixed cycles.
The drawings and descriptions in this chapter assume an X-Y-Z cartesian
configuration for the axes on a surface grinding machine. Your machine
configuration may be different. The illustrations in this chapter generally
assume that the G19 (YZ) plane is active and the axes are configured as
shown in Figure 16.3.
