Cycle 10 ROTATION
ISO programming
G73
Application
Within an NC program, the control can rotate the coordinate system in the working plane about the active datum.
The ROTATION cycle takes effect as soon as it has been defined in the NC program. It is also in effect in the Manual operating mode in the MDI application. The active angle of rotation is shown in the additional status display.
Reference axis for the rotation angle:
- X/Y plane: X axis
- Y/Z plane: Y axis
- Z/X plane: Z axis
Reset
Program Cycle 10 ROTATION again and specify a rotation angle of 0°.

Notes
- This cycle can only be executed in the FUNCTION MODE MILL machining mode.
- Cycle 10 cancels an active radius compensation. If necessary, reprogram the radius compensation.
- After defining Cycle 10, move both axes of the working plane to activate the rotation for all axes.
