Inclined cylindrical grinding
Application
It may sometimes be necessary for you to bring the rotary axes into a specific position to machine a specific process. This can be necessary, for example, when you can machine contour elements at only a certain inclination of the grinding wheel.

Requirements
- Machine with at least two rotary axes, one of them as a rotary table axis
- Available kinematics description for jig grinding
The machine manufacturer creates the kinematics description.

Description of function
Inclined cylindrical grinding is possible with Cycle 1041 LONG STROKE DEF..
Cycle 1041 LONG STROKE DEF. (#156 / #4-04-1)
As an alternative you can use Cycle 800 ADJUST XZ SYSTEM to define an inclination for cylindrical grinding.
Notes
- You must select the desired grinding wheel edge before inclining the tool.
- The FUNCTION CORRDATA TCS tool compensation is always in effect in the tool coordinate system, even during inclined machining.
