Key functions for 5-axis machining
Procedure for programming swivel motion and subsequent machining:
Swivel the coordinate system into the plane to be machined.
Program the machining process as usual in the X/Y plane.
Swivel the coordinate system back to its original position.
Basic procedure for using the swivel cycle
Call the Swivel function in the program.
Select the name of the swivel data record
Select "yes" for swivel if you wish to perform a swivel movement. Select "new" as swivel
movement if you wish to perform a new swivel movement, or "additive" if you wish to base the
movement on a previous swivel movement
Specify the reference point before rotation (X0, Y0, Z0)
Select the "axis-by-axis" swivel mode directly using the projection angle or the space angle
.
4
Enter the angle through which the axis should swivel. In the axis-by-axis mode, you can enter
the angle for each axis
5
Shift the zero point on the swiveled plane
You can program several swivel movements one after the other. A subsequent swivel movement
can be based on a previous one (additive). This provides you with a really clear means of repre-
senting swiveling in the program code.
Note the machine manufacturer's instructions! You can set the parameters that you want to be
available using the CYCLE800 startup menu.
For a detailed example and further information on programming the swivel cycle, please
see the Tool and Mold Making (3 axes) manual. For further information on the swivel func-
tion, please refer to the additional documentation (See "Further information/documenta-
tion" on page 108.)
