T The Y axis
With a Y axis you can drill and mill a workpiece on its front, back and
lateral surfaces.
During use of the Y-axis, two axes interpolate linearly or circularly in
the given working plane, while the third axis interpolates linearly. This
enables you to machine slots or pockets, for example, with plane
floors and perpendicular edges. By defining the spindle angle, you can
determine the position of the milling contour on the workpiece.
The CNC PILOT supports part program creation with the Y axis in:
„ DIN PLUS
„ TURN PLUS contour definition
„ TURN PLUS working plan generation
