Cycle 404 SET BASIC ROTATION (#17 / #1-05-1)

ISO programming

G404

Application

With touch probe cycle 404, you can set any basic rotation automatically during program run or save it to the preset table. You can also use Cycle 404 if you want to reset an active basic rotation.

Notes

 
Notice
Danger of collision!
During execution of touch probe cycles 400 to 499, all coordinate transformation cycles must be inactive. Otherwise, there is a danger of collision!
  1. Do not activate the following cycles before the use of touch probe cycles:
    • Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT
    • Cycle 8 MIRRORING
    • Cycle 10 ROTATION
    • Cycle 11 SCALING FACTOR
    • Cycle 26 AXIS-SPECIFIC SCALING
  2. Reset any coordinate transformations beforehand.
  • This cycle can be executed only in the FUNCTION MODE MILL machining mode.

Parameter

Q307 Preset value for rotation angle

Angle value at which the basic rotation will be set.

Input: –360.000...+360.000

Q305 Preset number in table?: (optional)

Specify the number of the row in the preset table in which the control will save the calculated basic rotation. If you enter Q305 = 0 or Q305 = –1, the control additionally saves the calculated basic rotation in the basic rotation menu (Probing rot) of Manual Operation mode.

–1: Overwrite and activate the active preset

0: Copy the active preset to row 0 of the preset table, write the basic rotation to row 0 of the preset table, and activate preset 0

> 1: Save the basic rotation to the specified preset. The preset is not activated.

Input: –1...99999

NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.

Change the following contents as needed:

  • Tools
  • Cutting parameters
  • Feed rates
  • Clearance height or safe position
  • Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
  • Paths of program calls

Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.

In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.

 
Tip

With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
