12.4 Working with the parallel axes
U, V and W
Overview
Refer to your machine manual.
Your machine must be configured by the machine
manufacturer if you want to use parallel-axis functions.
Depending on the configuration, the
PARAXCOMP
function may be activated by default.
The axes U, V and W are secondary axes parallel to the principal
axes X, Y and Z, respectively. Principal axes and parallel axes are
permanently assigned to each other.

configuration is effective by default.
You must deactivate the parallel-axis functions before
switching the machine kinematics.
You can deactivate the programming of parallel axes
with the machine parameter
