es

Reducing display of a rotary axis to a value less
than 360°: M94

Standard behavior

The TNC moves the tool from the current angular value to the
programmed angular value.

Example:

Behavior with M94

At the start of block, the TNC first reduces the current angular value to
a value less than 360° and then moves the tool to the programmed
value. If several rotary axes are active, M94 will reduce the display of
all rotary axes. As an alternative you can enter a rotary axis after M94.
The TNC then reduces the display only of this axis.

Example NC blocks

To reduce display of all active rotary axes:

To reduce display of the C axis only:

To reduce display of all active rotary axes and then move the tool in
the C axis to the programmed value:

Effect

M94 is effective only in the block in which it is programmed.

M94 becomes effective at the start of block.

Current angular value:

538°

Programmed angular value:

180°

Actual distance of traverse:

–358°
