Defining the working plane with the Euler angle:
PLANE EULER

Application

Euler angles define a machining plane through up to three

rotations about the respectively tilted coordinate system

. The

Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler defined these angles. When

applied to the machine coordinate system, they have the following

meanings:
Precession angle:

EULPR

Rotation of the coordinate system

around the Z axis

Nutation angle:

EULNU

Rotation of the coordinate system

around the X axis already shifted by the

precession angle

Rotation angle:

EULROT

Rotation of the tilted machining plane

around the tilted Z axis

Before programming, note the following

Parameter description for the positioning behavior:

see "Specifying the positioning behavior of the

PLANE function", page 397.
