Cycle 13 ORIENTATION
ISO programming
G36
Application
Refer to your machine manual.
Machine and control must be specially prepared by the machine manufacturer for use of this cycle.
The numerical control can control the main machine tool spindle and rotate it to a given angular position.
Oriented spindle stops are required for purposes such as:
- Tool changing systems with a defined tool change position
- Orientation of the transceiver window of HEIDENHAIN 3D touch probes with infrared transmission
With M19 or M20, the control positions the spindle at the angle of orientation defined in the cycle (depending on the machine).
If you program M19 or M20 without having defined Cycle 13 beforehand, the control positions the main spindle at an angle that has been set by the machine manufacturer.
Notes
- You can execute this cycle in the following operating modes: FUNCTION MODE MILL.
- Cycle 13 is used internally for Cycles 202, 204, and 209. Please note that, if required, you must program Cycle 13 again in your NC program after one of the machining cycles mentioned above.

Orientation angle Enter the angle relative to the angle reference axis of the working plane. Input: 0...360 |
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.
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.
