POINTS

Coordinates of any three
points in the plane to be
tilted

RELATIV

Single, incrementally
effective spatial angle

AXIAL

Up to three absolute or
incremental axis angles
A,B,C

RESET

Reset the PLANE
function

The parameter definition of the

PLANE function is

separated into two parts:

The geometric definition of the plane, which
is different for each of the available

PLANE

functions.

The positioning behavior of the

PLANE function,

which is independent of the plane definition and is
identical for all

PLANE functions, See "Specifying

The actual-position-capture function is not possible
with an active tilted working plane.

If you use the

PLANE function when M120 is

active, the TNC automatically rescinds the radius
compensation, which also rescinds the

M120

function.

Always use

PLANE RESET to reset PLANE functions.

Entering 0 in all

PLANE parameters does not

completely reset the function.

If you restrict the number of tilting axes with the
M138 function, your machine may provide only
limited tilting possibilities.

You can only use the PLANE functions with tool axis
Z.

The TNC only supports tilting the working plane with
spindle axis Z.
