Input parameters
Rot. angle main coordinate plane?
: Rotary angle
EULPR
around the Z axis (see figure at top right).
Please note:
Input range: -180.0000° to 180.0000°
The 0° axis is the X axis
Swivel angle of tool axis?:
Tilting angle EULNU of
the coordinate system around the X axis shifted by
the precession angle (see figure at center right).
Please note:
Input range: 0° to 180.0000°
The 0° axis is the Z axis
ROT angle of the tilted plane?
: Rotation EULROT of
the tilted coordinate system around the tilted Z axis
(corresponds to a rotation with Cycle 10 ROTATION).
Use the rotation angle to simply define the direction
of the X axis in the tilted machining plane (see figure
at bottom right). Please note:
Input range: 0° to 360.0000°
The 0° axis is the X axis
