PLANE RESET

Application

Use the PLANE RESET function to reset all tilt angles and deactivate tilting of the working plane.

Description of function

The PLANE RESET function always executes two partial tasks:

  • Reset all tilt angles, regardless of the selected tilt function or the type of angle
  • The function does not reset any offset values!

  • Basic transformation and offset

  • Deactivate tilting of the working plane
  •  
    Tip

    No other tilting function will carry out this partial task!

    Even when programming all angles with the value 0 in any tilting function, tilting of the working plane remains active.

The optional rotary axis positioning allows tilting the rotary axes back to the home position as the third partial task.

Input

11 PLANE RESET TURN MB MAX FMAX

The NC function includes the following syntax elements:

Syntax element

Meaning

PLANE RESET

Syntax initiator for resetting all tilting angles and for deactivating an active tilting function

MOVE, TURN or STAY

Type of rotary axis positioning

 
Tip

Depending on the selection, the optional syntax elements MB, DIST and F, F AUTO or FMAX can be defined.

Rotary axis positioning

Notes

  • Before every program run, ensure that no undesired coordinate transformations are in effect. When needed, tilting of the working plane can also be deactivated manually in the 3-D rotation window.
  • The 3-D rotation window (#8 / #1-01-1)

    Tip

    The status display allows checking the desired status of the tilting situation.

    Status display

  • With the touch probe functions you can save the misalignment of the workpiece as a 3D basic rotation in the preset table (e.g., Plane (PL)). In the NC program you must then align the workpiece with a tilting function (e.g., with PLANE SPATIAL SPA+0 SPB+0 SPC+0 TURN FMAX). You must not use PLANE RESET for machining, because the control does not take into account the 3D basic rotation with this function.
