G25VWZ
In this mode, the plane V-W becomes the plane where circular interpolations are allowed. Z is the axis orthogonal
to the working plane.
Warning!
Depending on the activation mode of the feature, it is possible that the setting of the new working plane
is directly executed by the activation command for the polar axes. Please consult the machine tool builder for
further information.
Warning!
When the polar axes feature is active, the programming of the machine becomes the same as a milling
machine with three axes.
To execute profiles with radius correction, it is necessary that the tool is zeroed on the spindle center.
For this reason
the G150 function cannot be used
