12.3

Inclined-tool machining in a tilted
machining plane (software option 2)

Function

In combination with

M128 and the new PLANE functions,

inclined-

tool machining

in a tilted machining plane is now possible. Two

possibilities are available for definition:

Inclined-tool machining via incremental traverse of a rotary axis

Inclined-tool machining via normal vectors

Inclined-tool machining in a tilted machining plane
only functions with spherical cutters. With 45°
swivel heads and tilting tables you can also define
the incline angle as a space angle. Use the

TCPM

FUNCTION, See "FUNCTION TCPM (software option
2)".

Inclined-tool machining via incremental traverse of a
rotary axis

Retract the tool

Activate M128

Define any PLANE function; consider the positioning behavior

Via a straight-line block, traverse to the desired incline angle in
the appropriate axis incrementally
