Plate machining

A general description is contained in the programming manual in Section 5-axis functionality [PROG]:

N10 #KIN ID[90]                   (* Select kinematics *)

N20 #TRAFO ON                 (* Select kinematics *)

N30 G00 X100 Y100 Z10     (* Path sessions *)

..................................

N100 #TRAFO OFF              (* Deselection *)

Notice

notice

For plate machining the tube rotary axis (e.g. U) must be located on index 5 in the axis configuration.

Notice

notice

The tube rotary axis (e.g. U) is configured for C axis mode as a rotary modulo axis (operation mode 0x204, see P-AXIS-00015).
All kinematics with 2 rotary axes in the tool can be selected as listed under the 6-axis head structures. (AB, BA, CA, CB, CA cardanic head). The head structure is selected by the kinematic parameter HD13 as for tube machining.
