5.11 Tilting the working plane (option 8)
Application, function
Refer to your machine manual.
The
Tilt working plane
functions are adapted to the
control and the machine tool by the machine tool builder.
The machine tool builder also specifies whether the
programmed angles are interpreted by the control as
coordinates of the rotary axes (axis angles) or as angular
components of a tilted plane (spatial angles).
The control supports the tilting functions on machine tools with
swivel heads and/or tilting tables. Typical applications are, for
example, oblique holes or contours in an oblique plane. The working
plane is always tilted relative to the active datum. The program
is written as usual for machining in a main plane, such as the
X/Y plane, but is executed in a plane that is tilted relative to the main
plane.
There are three functions available for tilting the working plane:
Manual tilting with the
3-D ROT
soft key in the
Manual operation
and
Electronic handwheel
operating modes

The control functions for tilting the working plane are coordinate
transformations. The working plane is always perpendicular to the
direction of the tool axis.
