LATERAL_Y section
The section code identifies the YZ plane (G19). For machines equipped 
with a B axis, it defines the tilted plane.
Without tilted plane: The reference diameter defines the contour 
position in the X direction; the C axis angle defines the position on the 
workpiece.
With tilted plane (see figures): SURFACE_Y additionally performs the 
following transformations and rotations for the tilted plane:
Shifts the coordinate system to the position I, K
Rotates the coordinate system by the angle B; reference point: I, K
H=0: Shifts the rotated coordinate system by –I. The coordinate 
system is moved "back."
Shifting "back" coordinate system: The control evaluates the 
reference diameter for the cutting limit. This value is also used as the 
reference value for the depth that you program for drilling operations 
and milling contours.
Since the reference diameter is referenced to the current zero point, 
it is recommended when working in a tilted plane, to shift the rotated 
coordinate system "back" by the distance –I. If the cutting limits are not 
needed, for example for drilling holes, you can disable the shift of the 
coordinate system (H=1) and set the reference diameter to 0.

H
Automatic shift of the coordinate system (default: 0)
0: The rotated coordinate system is shifted by –I
1: The coordinate system is not shifted
Please note:
X is the infeed axis in a tilted coordinate system. X 
coordinates are entered as diameter coordinates.
Mirroring the coordinate system has no effect on the 
reference axis of the tilt angle ("B axis angle" of the tool 
call).
