Defining the machining plane with a single,
incremental space angle: PLANE RELATIVE

Function

Use the incremental space angle when an already active tilted
machining plane is to be tilted by another rotation. Example:
machining a 45° chamfer on a tilted plane.

Input parameters

Incremental angle?:

Space angle about which the

active machining plane is to be rotated additionally
(see figure at right). Use a soft key to select the axis
to be rotated about. Input range: –359.9999° to
+359.9999°

Continue with the positioning properties (see

“Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE
function” on page 560).

Abbreviations used

Before programming, note the following

The defined angle always applies to the active machining
plane, no matter which function you used to activate it.

You can program any number of PLANE RELATIVE functions
in a row.

If you want to return to the machining plane that was
active before the PLANE RELATIVE function, define the
PLANE RELATIVE

function again with the same angle but

with the opposite algebraic sign.

If you use the PLANE RELATIVE function on an untilted
machining plane, then you simply rotate the untilted plane
about the space angle defined in the PLANE function.

Parameter description for the positioning behavior: See
“Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE
function,” page 560.
