In "Machine Manual", you can move the axes to certain positions for
the purpose of performing simple machining operations.
Select the "Position" softkey in "Machine Manual" mode.
Select the axis or axes to be traversed with the "cursor up" and
"cursor down" keys.
Select the axis or axes to be traversed and enter the target
position(s).
Enter a feedrate in field "F".
- OR -
Press the "Rapid traverse" softkey if the axes are to be traversed
in rapid traverse.
The rapid traverse is displayed in field "F".
Press the "Cycle Start" key.
The axes are moved to the specified target position.
The axes are moved to the specified target position.
Manual swiveling provides functions that make setup, measuring, and
machining of workpieces with inclined surfaces considerably easier.
If you want to create or correct an inclined position, the required
rotations of the workpiece coordinate system around the geometry
axes (X, Y, Z) are automatically converted to suitable positions of the
swivel axes (A, B, C).
If you use manual swiveling, you can program the swivel axes of the
machine directly and generate a matching coordinate system for
those swivel axis positions.
If the swivel plane is active, the "Workpiece zero" function is operative
but not the "Measure tool" function.
The swiveled coordinates are retained in reset state and even after
power ON, i.e. you can still retract from an inclined hole by retracting
in +Z direction.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
