Combining coordinate transformation cycles

When combining coordinate transformation cycles, always make sure
the working plane is swiveled around the active datum. You can
program a datum shift before activating Cycle G80. In this case, you
are shifting the "machine-based coordinate system."

If you program a datum shift after having activated Cycle G80, you are
shifting the ”tilted coordinate system.”

Important: When resetting the cycles, use the reverse sequence used
for defining them:

Automatic workpiece measurement in the tilted system

The TNC measuring cycles enable you to have the TNC measure a
workpiece in a tilted system automatically. The TNC stores the
measured data in Q parameters for further processing (for example,
for printout).

Procedure for working with Cycle G80 WORKING PLANE

1 Write the program

8

Define the tool (not required if TOOL.T is active), and enter the full
tool length.

8

Call the tool

8

Retract the tool in the tool axis to a position where there is no
danger of collision with the workpiece (clamping devices) during
tilting.

8

If required, position the tilt axis or axes with a G01 block to the
appropriate angular value(s) (depending on a machine parameter).

8

Activate datum shift if required.

8

Define Cycle G80 WORKING PLANE. Enter the angular values for the
tilt axes.

8

Traverse all main axes (X, Y, Z) to activate compensation.

8

Write the program as if the machining process were to be executed
in a non-tilted plane.

8

If required, define Cycle G80 WORKING PLANE with other angular
values to execute machining in a different axis position. In this case,
it is not necessary to reset Cycle G80. You can define the new
angular values directly.

8

Reset Cycle G80 WORKING PLANE. Program 0° for all tilt axes.

8

Disable the WORKING PLANE function; redefine Cycle G80, without
defining an axis.

8

Reset datum shift if required.

8

Position the tilt axes to the 0° position if required.
