10.2 Working with the Parallel Axes U, V
and W
Overview
Your machine must be configured by the machine
manufacturer if you want to use parallel-axis
functions.
The axes U, V and W are secondary axes parallel to the principal
axes X, Y and Z, respectively. Principal axes and parallel axes are
permanently assigned to each other.
Principal axis Parallel axis Rotary axis
X U A
Y V B
Z W C
The TNC provides the following functions for machining with the
parallel axes U, V and W:
Function Meaning Soft key Page
PARAXCOMP Define the TNC's
behavior when
positioning parallel axes
331
PARAXMODE Define the axes the
TNC is to use for
machining
331
After the TNC is started up, the standard
configuration is always effective.
Parallel-axis functions are reset by the following
functions:
Selection of a program
End of program
M2 or M30
Program cancelation ( PARAXCOMP remains active)
PARAXCOMP OFF or PARAXMODE OFF
You must deactivate the parallel-axis functions before
switching the machine kinematics.
