Calling The Cycle - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

The maximum angular range when aligning is limited by the traversing range of the participating
rotary axes. Technological limits are also placed on the angular range depending on the tool
used. After aligning, the cutting-edge position is automatically adapted.
Definition of angle ß
Angle ß – that is independent of the machine – is used to align grinding wheels.
In the initial state of the machine kinematics, a grinding wheel can be oriented according to Z
or X.
Machining the opposite side
It can be selected as to whether the side of the grinding wheel that corresponds to the cutting-
edge position is machined – or the opposite side.
Retraction
Retraction is possible before swiveling the grinding wheel.
