3.1.7 Flexible plane selection

STORE

PLANE

Press the ªSTORE PLANEº.

The selected plane is transferred into the part program. In the subsequent operator guidance (e.g. ªCONTOURº or ªMACHINING CYCLESº) the axis are automatically displayed in the parameter input forms.

However you can define a new plane as well.

G16 PLANE

STORE PLANE

Caution:

Press softkey ªG16 PLANEº.

The axis names for the abscissa, ordinate and applicate must now be entered manually, so that they are defined for further operator guidance.

Press the ªSTORE PLANEº softkey.

The previously defined axis names behind the G16 function are transferred into the part program.

The functions ªSIMULATIONº and ªCONTOURº only work on the axes defined to DIN. On the M version these are the 1st to the 3rd axis, on the T version they are the 1st to the 2nd axes.

If you have used other axes than these via the flexible plane selection, it could cause errors in simulation and machining (ªCONTOURº).

Modifications of the planes for the ªCONTOURº function also affect the definition of the selectable plane G16, i.e. the corresponding axis names of the selected plane are transferred for G16.

The plane definition for the ªCONTOURº function via G16 (G17 to G19) also applies to the ªCONTOURº function.

The axis names themselves are defined in machine data and apply to every plane selection.

Note:

A fixed channel-specific initial setting can be defined in the 2nd G group for the machining plane via MD 110* (see Section 7.3.4).

Example: standard plane G18 for turning or G17 for drilling.

How this basic setting is defined is described in Section 7.3.4 ªDefinition of the initial setting of the G groupsº.
