Tilting the working plane through axis angle:
PLANE AXIAL (FCL 3 function)

Application

The

PLANE AXIAL function defines both the position of the working

plane and the nominal coordinates of the rotary axes. This function
is particularly easy to use on machines with Cartesian coordinates
and with kinematics structures in which only one rotary axis is
active.

PLANE AXIAL can also be used if you have only one
rotary axis active on your machine.

You can use the

PLANE RELATIVE function after

PLANE AXIAL if your machine allows spatial angle
definitions. Refer to your machine manual.

Before programming, note the following

Enter only axis angles that actually exist on your
machine. Otherwise the TNC generates an error
message.

Rotary axis coordinates defined with

PLANE AXIAL

are modally effective. Successive definitions
therefore build on each other. Incremental input is
allowed.

Use

PLANE RESET to reset the PLANE AXIAL

function. Resetting by entering 0 does not deactivate
PLANE AXIAL.
SEQ, TABLE ROT and COORD ROT have no function
in conjunction with

PLANE AXIAL.

PLANE function", page 365
