Defining the machining plane with Euler angles:
EULER PLANE

Application
Euler angles define a machining plane through up to three rotations
about the respectively tilted coordinate system.

The Swiss

mathematician Leonhard Euler defined these angles. When applied to

the machine coordinate system, they have the following meanings:

Precession angle
EULPR

Rotation of the coordinate system around the Z

axis

Nutation angle
EULNU

Rotation of the coordinate system around the X

axis already shifted by the precession angle

Rotation angle
EULROT

Rotation of the tilted machining plane around the

tilted Z axis

Before programming, note the following

Parameter description for the positioning behavior: See

"Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE

function", page 506.
