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
439
PROJECTED
Two projection angles:
PROPR
and
PROMIN
and a rotation angle
ROT
440
EULER
Three Euler angles:
precession (
EULPR
),
nutation (
EULNU
) and
rotation (
EULROT
),
442
VECTOR
Normal vector for
defining the plane and
base vector for defining
the direction of the
tilted X axis 444
POINTS
Coordinates of any
three points in the
plane to be tilted 446
RELATIVE
Single, incrementally
effective spatial angle 448
AXIAL
Up to three absolute or
incremental axis angles
A,B,C
449
RESET
Resetting the PLANE
function 438
Running an animation
In order to make the differences between each definition possibility
more clear even before selecting the function, you can start an
animated sequence via soft key. The control turns the soft key blue
and shows an animated portrayal of the selected PLANE function.
