You can use the "Manual swiveling" function both for machining and
for setting up, to compensate for workpiece rotations when they are
being clamped (base angle of rotation).
If you want to use the current swiveled plane as the reference plane
for setting up your workpiece, you must define this plane as the zero
plane.
With "Set zero plane" the current swivel plane in the active work offset
is stored as the zero plane. As a result, the rotations in the active work
offset are overwritten.
With "Delete zero plane", the active zero plane is deleted from the
work offset. This sets the rotations in the active work offset to zero.
The overall coordinate system does not change with "Set zero plane"
or "Delete zero plane".
You can also use manual swivel in conjunction with "Align plane" to
measure a workpiece.
Select the "Swivel" softkey in "Machine Manual" mode.
Enter values for the parameters.
Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The "Swivel" cycle is started.
Press the "Delete values" to restore the initial state, i.e. to reset
the values to 0.
Perform this step, for example, to swivel the coordinate system
back to its original position.
Press the "Set zero plane" softkey to set the current swivel plane
to the new zero plane.
Press the "Delete zero plane" softkey to delete the current swivel
plane.
Select the "Teach rotary axis" softkey to accept the current
positions of the rotary axes during direct swiveling.
