Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE
function
Overview
Independently of which PLANE function you use to define the tilted
machining plane, the following functions are always available for
the positioning behavior:
Automatic positioning
Selection of alternate tilting possibilities (not with PLANEAXIAL)
Selection of the type of transformation (not with PLANEAXIAL)
NOTICE
Danger of collision!
Cycle 8 MIRROR IMAGE may have different effects in conjunction
with the Tilt working plane function. The effect mainly depends
on the programming sequence, the mirrored axes and the tilting
function used. There is a danger of collision during the tilting
operation and subsequent machining.
Check the sequence and positions using a graphic simulation
Carefully test the NC program or program section in the
Program run, single block operating mode
Examples
1
Cycle 8 MIRROR IMAGE programmed before the tilting
function without rotary axes:
The tilt of the PLANE function used (except PLANE AXIAL)
is mirrored
The mirroring is effective after the tilt with PLANE AXIAL or
Cycle 19
2
Cycle 8 MIRROR IMAGE programmed before the tilting
function with a rotary axis:
The mirrored rotary axis has no effect on the tilt specified
in the PLANE function used, because only the movement
of the rotary axis is mirrored
