Example: Determining a basic rotation from a plane and two holes

When setting a basic rotation with cycles 14xx, this must be defined by parameters Q1120 TRANSFER POSITION and Q1121 CONFIRM ROTATION.

Program sequence

  • Cycle 1420 PROBING IN PLANE
    • Q1120=+4: Compensation to the mean touch point
    • Q1121=+1: Set basic rotation
  • Cycle 1411 PROBING TWO CIRCLES
    • Q1120=+3: Compensation to the mean touch point
    • Q1121=+1: Set basic rotation

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.
