The C-axis
With a C-axis you can drill and mill a workpiece on its
front, back and lateral surfaces.
During use of the C-axis, one axis interpolates linearly
or circularly with the spindle in the given working pla-
ne, while the third axis interpolates linearly.
The CNC PILOT supports part program creation with
the C-axis in:
■ DIN PLUS
■ TURN PLUS contour definition
■ TURN PLUS working plan generation
TheY-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
