22.3.7
Deleting the definition of axis coupling: TANGDEL
Programming
An axis coupling definition specified by TANG(...) remains active after TANGOF. This inhibits
a plane change or geometry axis switchover. The predefined subroutine TANGDEL( ) may
be used to delete the definition of the axis coupling. Other axis couplings with this following
axis can then be defined.
Example:
TANGDEL(C): The previous definition of TANG(C,X,Y) is cancelled.

Programming examples
Example with insertion of an intermediate block for positioning of rotary axis
N10 TANG (C, X, Y, 1)
; Definition of the tangential control
N20 TLIFT (C)
; Activate Insert intermediate block at corners
N30 G1 G641 X0 Y0 F1000
N40 TANGON (C)
; Activate tangential control
N50 X10
N60 Y10
; Before this block is processed, rotary axis C is
repositioned
; in an intermediate block.
