Process

Notice

If the tool needs to be rotated to the defined plane, a complete kinematic transformation must be active before the cycle.

At the start of the cycle, the tool is retracted along the Z axis by the section set in @P2.

The following processes can be set by the rotation mode @P1_

• @P1=1: The machining coordinate system and tool are rotated to the defined plane
• @P1=2: Only the tool is rotated to the defined plane
• @P1=3: Only the machining coordinate system is rotated to the defined plane
• @P1=4: No movement occurs / change in MCS This mode can be used to calculate and output the MCS resulting from the input parameters.

Once the machining coordinate system is rotated (@P1=1 or @P1=3), after the cycle a rotated MCS with zero offset is active on the origin defined by @P3@P5. This can be deselected by #CS OFF.

To check the correct definition of the required plane, the resulting MCS can be output to a text file by @P20=1. The calculated axes of the MCS represented in the MCS are then written to the text file SysPosRotationToPlaneResult.txt.
