Overview
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:
Soft key
Function
Required parameters
Page
SPATIAL
Three spatial angles:
SPA, SPB, and SPC
PROJECTED Two projection angles:
PROPR and PROMIN
and a rotation angle
ROT
EULER
Three Euler angles:
precession (
EULPR),
nutation (
EULNU) and
rotation (
EULROT),
VECTOR
Normal vector for
defining the plane and
base vector for defining
the direction of the
tilted X axis
POINTS
Coordinates of any
three points in the
plane to be tilted
RELATIVE
Single, incrementally
effective spatial angle
AXIAL
Up to three absolute or
incremental axis angles
A,B,C
RESET
