Defining the machining plane with Euler angles:
EULER PLANE

Function

Euler angles define a machining plane through up to three rotations
about the respectively tilted coordinate system.
The Swiss
mathematician Leonhard Euler defined these angles. When applied to
the machine coordinate system, they have the following meanings:

Precession angle
EULPR

Rotation of the coordinate system around the
Z axis

Nutation angle
EULNU

Rotation of the coordinate system around the
X axis already shifted by the precession angle

Rotation angle
EULROT

Rotation of the tilted machining plane around the
tilted Z axis

Before programming, note the following

The sequence of the rotations described above is
independent of the active tool axis.

Parameter description for the positioning behavior: See
“Specifying the positioning behavior of the PLANE
function” on page 422.
