Fundamentals

Tilting the working plane of machines with rotary axes allows you to machine several workpiece sides in just one clamping setup, for example. The tilting functions also allow aligning a workpiece clamped at an incorrect angle.

The working plane can be tilted only when tool axis Z is active.

The control functions for tilting the working plane are coordinate transformations. The working plane is always perpendicular to the direction of the tool axis.
