Traversing reference points in tilted axes

With tilted axes, you use the machine axis direction buttons to cross

over the reference points. The TNC interpolates the corresponding

axes. Be sure that the function for tilting the working plane is active in

the Manual Operation mode and that the actual angle of the tilted axis

was entered in the menu field.

Setting a preset in a tilted coordinate system

After you have positioned the rotary axes, set the preset in the same

manner as for a non-tilted system. The behavior of the TNC during

presetting depends on the settings of Machine Parameter 7500 in

your kinematics table:

MP7500, bit 5=0

With an active tilted working plane, the TNC checks during

presetting in the X, Y and Z axes whether the current coordinates of

the rotary axes agree with the tilt angles that you defined (3-D ROT

menu). If the tilted working plane function is not active, the TNC

checks whether the rotary axes are at 0° (actual positions). If the

positions do not agree, the TNC will display an error message.

MP7500, bit 5=1

The TNC does not check whether the current coordinates of the

rotary axes (actual positions) agree with the tilt angles that you

defined.

Danger of collision!

Always set a reference point in all three reference axes.
If your machine tool is not equipped with axis control, you

must enter the actual position of the rotary axis in the

menu for manual tilting: The actual positions of one or

several rotary axes must match the entry. Otherwise the

TNC will calculate an incorrect datum.
