Example for a machine with a rotary table C and a tilting table A. 
Programmed function: PLANE SPATIAL SPA+0 SPB+45 SPC+0
Selecting the type of transformation (entry optional)
On machines with C-rotary tables, a function is available for specifying 
the type of transformation:
U
COORD ROT
specifies that the PLANE function should
only rotate the coordinate system to the defined 
tilting angle. The rotary table is not moved; the 
compensation is purely mathematical.
U
TABLE ROT
specifies that the PLANE function should
position the rotary table to the defined tilting angle. 
Compensation results from rotating the workpiece.

When the PLANE AXIS function is used, COORD ROT and 
TABLE ROT
are nonfunctional.
If you use the TABLE ROT function in conjunction with a 
basic rotation and a tilting angle of 0, then the TNC tilts the 
table to the angle defined in the basic rotation.
