Swapping axes
With the axis swapping function you can adapt the axes programmed
in any NC program to your machine’s axis configuration or to the
respective clamping situation.
 In the global program settings form, move the cursor to EXCHANGE
ON/OFF,
and use the SPACE key to activate the function.
 With the downward arrow key, set the cursor to the line showing at
left the axis to be swapped.
 Press the GOTO key to display the list of axes with which you can
swap it.
 With the downward arrow key, select the axes with which you wish
to swap, and confirm with the ENT key.
If you work with a mouse, you can select the desired axis directly by
clicking it in the respective pull-down menu.
Basic rotation
The basic rotation function enables you to compensate a workpiece
misalignment. The effect corresponds to the basic rotation function
that you can define in the manual mode with the probing functions.
The TNC therefore saves the new value simultaneously in the form
and in the basic rotation menu, although only one is visible.
After activation of the axis swapping function, all
subsequent transformations are applied to the swapped
axes.
Be sure to swap the axes appropriately. Otherwise the
TNC will display error messages.
Remember that may have to return to the contour after
activation of this function. The TNC then automatically
calls the return-to-contour menu after the form is closed
(see “Returning to the contour” on page 682).
