option 1)
Introduction
The PLANE function is a powerful function for defining tilted working
planes in various manners.
All PLANE functions available on the TNC describe the desired working
plane independently of the rotary axes actually present on your
machine. The following possibilities are available:
The machine manufacturer must enable the functions for
tilting the working plane!
You can only use the PLANE function in its entirety on
machines which have at least two rotary axes (head and/or
table). Exception: PLANE AXIAL can also be used if only a
single rotary axis is present or active on your machine.
Function Required parameters Soft key Page
SPATIAL Three spatial angles: SPA, SPB, and SPC Page 353
PROJECTED Two projection angles: PROPR and PROMIN and a rotation
angle ROT Page 355
EULER Three Euler angles: precession (EULPR), nutation (EULNU)
and rotation (EULROT) Page 357
VECTOR Norm vector for defining the plane and base vector for
defining the direction of the tilted X axis Page 359
POINTS Coordinates of any three points in the plane to be tilted Page 361
RELATIVE Single, incrementally effective spatial angle Page 363
