Tilted Plane Definition

This subheader enables you to define the method used for calculation of spatial angles in the GCode generation. Spatial angles can be used to control rotary axes and the tool angle in relation to the machining surface.

Trace Variables

Use Kinematic Axes

 

Rotations sequence is calculated as follows:

  1. Rotation around Z-Axis (Z)
  2. Rotation around Y-Axis (Y’)
  3. Rotation around X-Axis (X’’)

Use this settings for a parallel* type of machine kinematic.

Use Cycle 19

Rotations sequence is calculated as follows:

  1. Rotation around Z-Axis (Z)
  2. Rotation around Y-Axis (Y’)
  3. Rotation around X-Axis (X’’)

Use this setting for a non-parallel** type of machine kinematic.

 Customize

Rotations sequence is customized:

  1. X/Y/Z (rotated around fixed individual axes)
  2. X/Y/Z (rotated around fixed individual axes) or X’/Y’/Z’ (rotated around fixed individual axes in succession)
  3. X/Y/Z (rotated around fixed individual axes) or X’’/Y’’/Z’’ (rotated around fixed individual axes in succession)

*   Parallel kinematic- Both rotary axes vectors are parallel to X-, Y- or Z-Axes.

** Non-Parallel kinematic- At least one rotary axis vector is not parallel to X-, Y- or Z-Axis.
