Lateral surface machining with 2 rotary axes (#CYL 2ROT, #CYL OFF)

Turning work in the Cartesian system. The tool is supported by the translatory axes X, Z and the rotary axis Y. The workpiece is aligned by the rotary axis C.

Transformation can be switched by the command #CYL 2ROT. The user programs X, Y, Z in the Cartesian system. In addition, the dimension C of the tool angle is programmed in the X-Y plane. When C=0, the tool is parallel to X and vertical on Y.

notice

In order to use this lateral surface machining, the value 202 must be assigned to P-CHAN-00262 for this transformation.

The kinematic is available in two variants.

  1. In the LEFT variant (HD10 = 0) the C axis is located to the left of the Y axis. The Y axis points to the left in zero position. When transformation is selected, the X axis must be located to the right of the C axis.
  2. In the RIGHT variant (HD10 = 1) the C axis is located to the right of the Y axis. The Y axis points to the right in zero position. When transformation is selected, the X axis must be located to the left of the C axis.

The C axis must have a modulo range of 0° to 360°, see P-AXIS-00126 and P-AXIS-00127.
